6 Or 7?

The Faggin frameset that I just received has been modified to accept a 130 rear.

The frame is in great condition, and the 130 expansion was obviously done by a professional.

Big question.

I could track down a 130 compatible rear Campy hub, and run the 7 speed of the late 80's.

Is there plenty of old 7 speed stuff out there?

Is the spacing for the old school transitional hub 127? (Actual distance for the 7 speed)

I am assuming that the rear hub body is the same for the 126/130, merely axle length is the difference?

I do not really feel like re-compressing and aligning the stays back to 126 unless I have to.

Any ideas?
