Thanks, I'll PM @cycleclinic

Would these 20h XR300 be a silly idea? Only 2oh drilling available. I could lace them up 2x, but I think the frame is 126mm (not got the frame yet, a later Vitus 979) and it might be tough to find a geared rear 20h hub with a 126mm axle.

My 1989 Vitus 979 had a 128mm spacing (it was all original when I bought it with 7 speed tricolor) and fits a modern 130mm hub just fine.

Thanks for that. I think I'd better wait until I receive the frame and measure it.
Mines an earlier Peugeot, like 1980-1982ish, currently fitted with 5 speed Simplex stuff.
