I meant to ask you guys: What rear spacing did your frames come with? Did they by any chance have 126mm but a 5-speed FW? Mine did.
...you can see similar bikes in the Peugeot catalogs for 1974.
repechage has been telling me my frame is bent ever since the time he first saw it here.
Nothing will convince him otherwise, not even the '74 catalog picture. I don't recall the spacing on mine. I readjust them as part of my process, and I don't usually remember stuff like that. Mine had been rode hard and put away wet, so I wouldn't have assumed whatever it was as original anyway.
