Hi Bob,
I didn't know that Cinelli used 126 mm spacing for their Bivalent wheelsets! Looking at a reprint of a Cinelli catalog from the 1960s it shows a Bivalent hubset with a 5 speed freewheel, but it doesn't give specs. as to the width, 126mm or 120mm spacing, but your suggestion to remove spacing from both sides is a good one and probably correct! Most likely the reason why the dropout adjusting screws are not even! I examined the rear freewheel side and there is a small part that inserts into the freewheel that can be duplicated @ minus 3 mm. Thanks again for your advice! I'll let you know the results.
Best Regards,
