Hi everyone, new member, first post.

Went down the vintage rabbit hole and now paying the price I bought a vintage Swedish Crescent road bike. Not sure the age, but it's a 10 speed with Huret components. Interestingly I thought the front fork was the standard 100mm spacing, but turns out it is 90mm. Does this make it an older bike or is it a French spec - despite being a Swedish bike?

Anyway, I bought a NOS 27" wheelset because the front and rear wheels were mismatched. Turns out the front was a 700C. So I thought I was doing the right thing buying a 27" wheelset but as the title of this thread says, the hub is 100mm but the fork spacing is 90mm. So what are my options?

Do I leave the new wheelset alone and find a vintage wheel with a 90mm hub?

Do I coldset the fork and try to gain 10mm spacing?

Or, and this is what I am leaning towards - do I grind down the lock nuts and to a degree the cones? The lock nuts are pretty beefy and I could easily find a couple of mm there, the cones could also be ground down a bit a still leave room for a thin hub wrench.

I feel more comfortable grinding down a fastener than I do pulling my forks apart. 10mm is not a lot, but also not insignificant. Maybe I can win enough by just grinding down the lock nuts and muscling the fork apart to mount the wheel.

Thanks for any suggestions!
