Love the retromod look, but it seems majority of these are 80's or 90's conversions. I'm thinking going to take it up a notch, converting late 50's bike with the modern groupset, giving the bike a 'new' lease of life and making it much more rideable as I don't need a wall art, I want my bikes to be used.
Cold setting to 130mm is the first task, shouldn't be a big issue as it is 126mm currently, although it has been modified some time ago, adding campaq dropouts and DT gear shifter braze-ons etc., so it could've already be spread from 120 to 126 before. Anyone tried to do it from 120 to 130 - should I be aware of anything in particular?
