The Warlord has landed!

Oh dear....

After the last coolwall, I inherited an e-stayed machine. This is the warlord, hahaha.

You've got to love a 'warning' sticker that encourages abuse?

"WARNING. Abuse of this equipment will result in serious fun."

The plan is to build this in to a useable work hack. Someone recently tried to steal my Coiler from outside of work, so this may deter the local job centre lot more! I was originally going to strip the paint and have it powdercoated in black...what what the heck, it fluro-ness can stay. Singlespeed here i come

Keep it retro, if you need some karma Shimano canti's I can sort you out.

I've got some Shimano BR-M454 canti's that came with it. Just paid for some suntour levers from a fellow RB member. Going to put some chill pills on there too.

I need some help with the wheels though. The rear seems to be a 120 or a 125 axle? It's a cm or so narrower than a more modern rear wheel. Any ideas?

I'd bend it to 135

just bend the bloody thing - it wont notice (its not sentient enough), you wont notice...

Same , pull the stays out with a pair of spring compressors but make sure you leave the dropouts straight/parallel to each other otherwise the wheel wont be held tight and it could move .

Although it's worth running a bit of string from the dropout up to the headtube and back down to the other dropout and measuring from the seattube to the string both sides to see if one stay isn't already bent in a bit .
