That appears to be a steel frame, if you're saying the dropout spacing is just too wide or too narrow, you could just cold set the rear triangle (the lower one ). Instructions here: http://sheldonbrown.com/frame-spacing.html

Or for the threaded rod technique for cold setting (which to some is a little easier but doesn't take into account frame alignment like Sheldon's method does): http://www.vintage-trek.com/refurbish.htm#dropouts
