Tory,

Pretty bike.

I learned the hard way about running a nice flat-lever rear skewer on a widened rear end. The threads on the end of the skewer are only partly engaged, and can pull out of the nut fairly easily, ruining the skewer. One of your photos shows this partial engagement.

My instinct is that flat skewers should be reserved for 120mm use.

Cheers.

Or if that's a problem link, start here and look for the Rally photo on the 1969 Holdsworth. http://www.flickr.com/photos/woodstock531/sets/
