sorry lads
forgot to say all are bikes are over forty years old and are messured in inchs not mm but the speed way tyres have a nobbel tyre even on the side so that even when the bike is turning the tyre still has a grip to turn on.
we use steel rims 26 3/8 inch as the more easer to bend back in to shapeafter folding them and we also use motor bike spokes and moter bike chains as they never break from mallet hits or ball hits.
modern day rims dont hold up to a wheel folding.
the frames were made by Allin cycles ltd 57-59 whitehorse road, Croydon
we also have polo bikes from Norman cycles Asford, Kent
any come across any of them before?
the frames just never give up after 40 to 60 years of playing on them
we tried new frames they just break up the head sets or the frames snap due to a crash or two.
nice polo bikes you have lads and ladys have to say.
