I think that the 8-speed hubs have a fairly wide OLD, so some frame spreading would be necessary.
Does this mean I need to use a newer frame? I guess I could be on the lookout for a newer touring frame or something with a slightly sloping top tube like an earlier Specialized expedition. I don't know I'm gonna go on faith on this one not on what I think I might want but by where I'm led. gonna spend a good deal of time on the old prayer bones for direction too.
