Bikes: Speedvagen Steel

And the rear wheel axles seem too fat to fit in the dropouts? The front wheel is fine?

Are they horizontal rear dropouts or vertical?

Are the axle parts that sit in the dropouts threaded or smooth?

Maybe pics?

And could you post a photo of the axles on the Industry 9 hubs?

If the Speedvagen is a rim brake road bike I concur that it should be 130mm spacing from the inside of dropout to dropout. The part of the axle that protrudes past the end caps (or cones & locknuts whatever the case may be) could be ever so slightly too thick. This is why a few photos of the dropout & the axle ends would be enlightening....

I concur that checking with Industry 9 is a good idea as well.
The Derosa dropouts are horizontal, all parts are smooth. The Speedvagen dropouts are vertical. I've attached pics below. Width does not seem to be a challenge just the diameter front and back. Bummer. seems like the front won't be a problem with new caps, I emailed Industry Nine to see if they have 10mm caps for the rear. I also put in a pic of the fork freshly chromed! Still looking for a good quality campy group to finish the bike off (and perhaps wheels too)
