120 spacing makes life easier too as that is track standard. You are going to use a proper track-style rear hub w/ a lockring?

They're all spaced at 126, I had planned on a track hub/lock ring and spacers to make up the 3mm difference in either side. I guess I could squeeze the triangle if need be.
If I need to respace the dropout widths or really even squeeze them that leaves out the cannondale. It's aluminum doesn't like being manipulated, and it has the horizontal drops, so I'm going to pull that option. The carbon Miyata also has an aluminum rear triangle, so respacing is out. I'd prefer not to hand squeeze it either.
So it's looking like the Trek 560, or the Miyata 710. Unless you can use spacers than the CT-3000 remains in the running.
