"Fresh"? Regarding my singlespeed background, that's an understatement. jet sanchEZ: you have the right idea. That was my exact idea. However, my frame pretty much made the decision for me as since it's an old Peugeot, the spacing for the forks are too narrow for contemporary wheels that are 130mm. Measured my rear fork and it was around 124mm due to a little bending in the dropouts. I also tried putting my Mavic Open Pros from my road bike on the frame and that was not kosher. So I went w/ the Weinmann DP18s. Thanks all for your extensive and very informative help.
