Turns out to be 128mm. Also, I used the string-test for checking alignment of the rear triangle and it looks fine.

I could buy a new rear wheel built to the correct size, but I don't see how to...

Rear wheel / frame mismatch

It appears to me that the rear wheel I bought with the bike is for a 120mm setup, not the 128 that would be correct for this frame.
It's been so long now that I just don't remember if the wheels...

My goal is just to get this bike up-and-running, as economically as possible. I _did_ splurge on the Cyclone derailleur. But having, for instance, to build out a new rear-wheel would kill this...

I've already disassembled the bottom bracket, and it was not original--what I pulled out of it was a Shimano sealed-cartridge unit, which I'm really...

Restoring a 1983 Trek 720

Hi folks--
I'm restoring a 1983 Trek 720. The bike was in disarray in the corner of someone's garage when I bought it. I've got it all stripped down to frame and components, cleaned everything up...
