I'm going throw a bit of a spanner into the workings. Weren't some touring frames designed asymmetrically? To allow less wheel dish and hence a stronger rear wheel. And as Orbit were a smaller factory with a speciality being touring frames, maybe it was them

Could try the Tandem Club. Explain it's collection only. They are a national organisation. Also the cycling UK forum

Just re-read the post and you did say that it was a 5700 rear. Sorry, my bad

If it's 5800, then it should be compatible with any 11 speed Shimano/SRAM cassette, MTB or road
