Bikes: Wow, where to start? A collection of 1980's and early 90's road, touring, and MTBs from the likes of Trek, Schwinn, Cannondale, Fuji, Miyata, Univega, Panasonic, and GT. It has gotten rather out of control.

I liked the ride so much that I have now invested in a “resto-mod” build of a 1987 Super Sport frame (slightly more aggressive head angle, 700c wheels, chromoly fork). It seemed to be going well, but I’m realizing the rear dropout “cold set” may have gone awry at the seat stay brake bridge (dropouts are centered left to right and aligned with each other, but brake bridge is like 5mm off center). If I can get this sorted out, I hope to have the new build up and running before winter.
Weird. Has the rear axle spacing been modified?
