No. More politely and accurately, not a whole bunch The one hanging in the garage is about 95+ mm OLN. Fits the original "Schwinn Approved" hub fine.

Well I have my SS project frameset now and it seems these used a narrow front hub? My normal front wheel was a real struggle to cram in; the fork blades are much tougher to pull apart than rear stays. Is this correct, or has my fork been squished a bit? What should I do? Thanks in advance :^)
