Thanks for the response.

I am looking at a bike on Craig's List and the seller isn't Johnny Helpful, and it's located far enough away that I want to be sure before I pull the trigger. I am just beginning to make plans for either cold setting the frame or spacing the hub out. 126 should be doable either way. It'll be single speed Townie/grocery getter conversion.

May I see a pic of your whole bike please? Looks good.

I have since fitted a six-speed freewheel to the original wheel, but be aware that the original derailer needed modification to handle it.

Can we assume that you are perhaps ordering an alloy-rimmed wheelset at this time?
