I believe I will have the clearance with tires and such BUT when I started to play with it, it looks like the axle may be too large in diameter to fit in the drop outs. Did axle diameters increase as an industry standard? Guess I didn't realize that and will now need to buy new wheels to match. The old ones are an old Shimano 600 with 8spd freehub.
Thanks!
90s road bikes were 9mm x 100 up front, 10mm x 130 out back.
There are 9mm endcaps for Torch hubs if you currently have 12 or 15 up front.

I don't know if they have them for 10x130 rear, though.
