Thanks, Laing! Everyone else: Now gladly considering *your *cast-off rear wheels with 130mm spacing.

It is highly unlikely that your 27' Mixte frame is 135 spacing. Are you planning to have the frame re-spaced? Mixtes (6 stays) are not as easy to just spread by hand and jam it in as a 4 stay bike. I know because I just put a modern wheel on an old Ross Carrera 27" Mixte (chrome-moly frame). If you are getting another wheel, a 130 would probably be easier to deal with and still available for 8/9 speed.
