Congrats! Can't wait to see the images!

Regarding the wheel question:

I respaced a 130 wheel to use on my Hilsen.  Didn't even replace the axle.
It just sits a little inside the dropouts with plenty o' meat left over (and
if you poke around Sheldon's bikes, he talks about using a QR setup with an
axle flush to the nut, so he could achieve some minor tensioning corrections
on a singlespeed/vertical dropout setup).

You really just need 5 mm total of washers (mine was done with two x 2 mm
and I figured that was close enough.)

Hope that helps,

- Jim
