That's going to be fun, never done that before on a frame.
I am curious which method you gonna use in order to spread the dropouts. I've tried
and the result was far from ideal. You have to be lucky to get an equally spaced rear triangle with that.
Actually, I am thinking about spreading the dropouts on my Gazelle CM as well. I've got a nice read wheel with a Maxi-Car hub with 130mm OLD. I could also try to respace the hub to 120mm, of course. I have to decide..
Cool project, by the way!
