Matt- Mine is a '97 Road Standard (exact same lugs and fork crown as yours), and it fits 130 mm hubs without any jamming required. Mine had a 7s freewheel when I bought it, but on a 130 mm Phil FSA hub.
Riv Catalog 3, current for my era of Road Standard, says 130 mm spacing for the rear. I agree that yours is either custom, a rare production model in 126, or it's been re-spaced from 130 to 126. There does seem to be some variation among these early bikes. For example, my frame (like all Road Standards) was specified for short-reach (39-49 mm) brakes. However, my bike can barely clear a 700 x 28 tire whereas some Road Standards fit a 32 mm tire.
