I'm in Westmont. While something may show up on CL, I think I'd rather go with fixing up this one, it's a long story but it does also have some sentimental value. From what I've been able to find, newer parts are going to be 135mm, and my bike may have a 130mm or 135mm frame & hub, so how can I check? Does it really matter (or can I take spacers off and what not)?
