Carbon, aluminum, etc. are a whole different ball game with regards to cold-setting)
The frame's steel, that'll be no problem. I thought about cold-setting, and that may be the best solution. But I'd rather have someone like Spicer in Indiana or Wildframe in ATL do that- (I assume) they have the measuring stuff to make sure the frame's aligned. I don't trust myself to get it perfect.
But I'm posting here to find out if anyone knows about a wheelset I can just go and buy so I don't have to send the frame out. If I do have it done, I'll likely go to 135, which will give me enough 52mm chainline options to work with. Kogswell and Surly hubs come to mind, and I'm certain there are more.
