I thought this bike might have been built by JOSE COLNAGO in TJ.......... actually I remember this bike from before also but thought the list could use a good chuckle in LIGHT of all thats ZEN that we have been reading about.
          2nd point: my primary rider is a CINELLI(not WINDSOR) SC which was born with 126mm but who seems to be perfect happy with a 130mm rear wheel mounted. Looks good to me and feels fine on fast descents..........no cold setting because it will go back to being a retro bike at some point.............OBS (of HETCHINS fame)put the bike together for me and I do not know it they adjusted rear ends to parallel at 130mm.I do know that I must open the rear slightly to get the wheel in(advantage of steel bike) and have ridden 3-4k on it since it was done in current configuration.
          Maybe 120 to 126 would be more extreme,I am not sure..................
   I dont think above would be possible with a COMPOSITE or ALU frame (most of which are off topic anyway)
