Need to go from 150mm to 135mm rear hub, what are my options?

YO. My new frame has 135mm rear hub spacing and I have 2 wheelsets that are 150mm that I built for my old frame. My 150mm hubs are Hadley and I'm thinking of just swapping them out with 135mm's and selling the old hubs. I assume the flange spacing is the same between them so I can just use the old spokes?

Any other ideas or options?

I think it will look great raw. I really should have stripped the paint off my 222 before I built it up, besides the powdercoat job is pretty **** quality (done by the person I brought it off).

Did you just use paint stripper on yours?
Yeah. Worked like a charm. Took me about 2 hours to get the job done. Wear a chemical mask and googles and don't get that stuff on you. It burns like a @#$%'er. I wore a mask and still woke up with headache.
