I need some information on a 1988 Peugeot Chorus model built with

Apparently this model was only made in 1988. It came with Campy
Chorus
components.

I'm trying to find the original width for the rear dropouts, 126mm or
130mm?


the 8 speed cassette hub was 130, but a 126.5 mm threaded hub with 7
speed freewheel was optional

Thanks for the feedback.

So you are saying that these bikes were available with either a 7 speed
freewheel hub with 126mm spacing or an 8 speed cassette hub with 130mm
spacing?

Cold setting isn't recommended with 753 tubing. If some yahoo bent the
dropouts in for use with a 126mm fixie wheel, moving them back out to
130mm wouldn't be a good idea.
