NEW FOR WYNDSYNGYR'S WAR GEAR! FIBERGLASS PIKES BY THE FOOT!!!
Greetings all!
Wyndsygnyr's War Gear is happy to announce that we've found a wonderful source for 1.25" poltruded fiberglass tube with .125" walls. This is the 'green' fiberglass tube that is used for pikes up to 12 feet.
We sell this material BY THE FOOT and then we cut it for you before we ship it. Currently, we have 20 20 foot lengths of tubing (400 total feet) and we will be selling it for $3/foot. So, the price for your average pike sizes:
9 feet (pike cut to 8.5 feet to allow 6 total inches for pike head and butt cap) is $25.50
10 feet (pike cut to 9.5 to allow 6 total inches for pike head and butt cap) is $28.50
12 feet (pike cut to 11.5 to allow 6 total inches for pike head and butt cap) is $34.50
SHIPPING: PLEASE NOTE that a 12 footer, shipped whole, is a bit of an issue with UPS, so unless you're local (Seattle) it will probably have to be cut.
UPS requires that anything over 84" (but less than 108) in total length and girth go as 'oversized 1' class. It helps if we cut the pikes down to get it in regular shipping prices, but then you need a splice which is also available through us for $2.00 (please see the ebay auction for splices and purchase through there)
If you have any questions, please ask!

farrin wrote:the biggest downfall that jumps to mind is how ineffective is the spear inside of 20' you will seriously have to be a very moble fighter because once a fighter is inside the spear head the manuverability of the weapon becomes dangerous and mostly worthless. I also think that a 20' spear is a great idea for a real battle where the fighting is much slower, but just not for belegarth.
