I'm surprised the rear isn't already spaced at 135mm?

Anyway what a gorgeous machine! I'd fix it up and submit a picture to gmbn's Dirt Shed Show, they'll go bonkers over that old Marin!
Yeah, this I will think about. Looking into steel HT frames I found the Kona Unit looks pretty nice. You're right, the dropouts are already at 135mm. Thanks for the input!
