Fuji Sportif 1.5 axle spacing
Hi - A guy on CL has this for $30.
Anyone know the rear dropout spacing? It's set up for disc brakes so I thinking (hoping) it's 135mm?
I ask because I plan on putting 650b wheels on it, most of the new ones I have found which are pre-built have 135mm OLD hubs laced in to them.
Thanks!

It's almost certainly 135 mm. Even it is is 130 mm (unlikely) you can still cram a 135 hub into it.

That's what I am thinking especially since it has the mounting points for disc brakes on the rear seat stays... it's made for MTB hubs I am thinking.... LOL I have to "spring" the frame on my Nishiki each time I put the rear wheel on after being removed but then again it's a hi-tensile steel frame so it doesn't scare me.
What do you think max width for tires on a 27.5/584/650b rim is? Fuji says it came stock w/ 700x28c (wish it was 700x32c)
I am hoping to run 38s
