The local shop ("WheelieFun", Lebanon, Ohio) is in the process of straightening the 1953 Learco Guerra frameset and asked me what the rear spacing should be.

What is the correct spacing for a 40s/50s bike with Corsa or Paris Roubaix 4-speed? What about 5-speed?

Shop needs to know, and I left all my Campy catalogs at home.

Thanks for any info.
