I'd double and triple-check that spacing with a ruler before I went out and bought a hub/wheel if I were you. 135mm is standard spacing for mountain bikes, but it pretty damn rare for road bikes.

Also, since it is steel, you could take it to a (good) shop, and have them cold-set the stays to 120mm for you. Probably costs less than a 135mm hub (if that is indeed the size).
