Freehub body replacement

Re:

A 1996 Marin should have a 135mm Old, though maybe 130 as it is 700c but 126 is from years before that. I could be wrong but do triple check.

Re:

Yes, good point, I went and double checked!

The Marin "Rock Star" hub assembly from the 1996 Stinson has an OLD of 130mm (129mm as measured with the micrometer).

Now for the rest of the story:

I can't measure the frame spacing unfortunately as one of the chainstays on the Marin cracked and snapped earlier this year.

Luckily, a frame from a 1987 Raleigh Granada tourer came into my possession, so I thought it would be fun to build it up with some of the parts from the Stinson :

So the 126mm hub is going to be a good fit, I just need to decide on a colour for the respray.
