+1, except I had a pro with experience and the right tools do it. Mine was spread from 120mm to 130mm with no problems, and I can and do run my favorite Campy 10sp triple drivetrain.
I am not saying you should or should not do it - that's your call - but I am saying that it can be done safely if you have your heart set on wheels/drivetrain that require it. I will also say that I think you should make it a bike you will want to ride.
