Did you have the frame cold set for the 130mm wheel, or do you just slide it in? (like I do with ease on my De Rosa) Although I might switch over to a Shimano FW-RD-Shifter set up, I think I will keep the 126mm/27"/canti thing going.
Oh thats interesting the spoke holder was on the left side! Musta changed it in either 89 or 90 then.
Mine was set at 130mm already. Not sure if that was done after build before it was powdercoated or if it came stock at 130mm. Mine came stock as a 3x7 drivetrain and with it being from a time when bikes were transitioning from 126 to 130, there is a chance it was built as 130mm. Interesting question, I hadnt even considered it until now.
