126mm OLD, who said...
I was built in the Schwinn factory in Chicago out of steel to roll big 27in wheels with a 5speed freewheel in the rear, which is what I did for years and years then I retired and retreated and collected dust until I ended up at a community bike shop in Seattle and some guy bought me and asked the shop to build me up as a new bike and it was important to use his Cannondale 1 1/8 threadless stem & bars on my .833 steer tube and a 9 speed cassette and wheel and mismatched STI shifters and go fish on the cable routing hold the pickles hold the lettuce special orders don't upset us all we ask is that you let us build up bikes with parts manufactured within the same decade as all the other parts you've grown attached to. Maybe you need to buy another bike and another. One more contemporary and one a bit older...as in 120 or 126 OLD
