A Alh14 Dirt Disciple Mar 24, 2017 #1 My Colnago Master frame has an O.L.D of 126mm. What are my wheel options ? Is it a case of buying the correct hubs and then getting wheels built ? I don't really want to run tubs as the West Country roads are puncture hell !

CTK Old School Grand Master Feedback View Mar 25, 2017 #6 Re: What gears are you looking at? Shimano or Campag? 7 speed? I like Shimano 600 hubs 6207 or 6400.

Midlife Retro Wizard Mar 25, 2017 #10 That range might be a bit much for your short cage Campag mech. 14-24 would be better https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/freewheels/ ... freewheel/ Or a vintage one from evilbay etc. Shaun
