+1. And so easy with the brakeset. I forgot to measure the width at the dropouts, but narrow - 126???
IMHO, this bike will ride like a dream, whether fitted with go-fast tubulars or light touring 28/32 tires or something in between; but it is waay to small for me so my test ride impressions are pretty meaningless.

Only speculation but, the original owner went with mtn bike drivetrain and big cassette sometime in the '80s to accommodate the hilly terrain locally and an aging body.
