Hi all, sorry if this has been discussed already (I did a search and couldn't find anything), but does anyone have especially positive or negative things to say about playing polo on aluminium-framed bikes? In particular, has anyone noticed that they tend to snap with greater ease than steel? Alternatively, has anyone been playing on an alloy frame for ages and had no problems whatsoever? I know the general consensus is that steel is more pliable and hence more likely to survive crashes, and so on, but would be interested in firsthand anecdotal evidence about polo bikes in particular.
Cheers,
C
