Don't know if this is right section or if this had been done before. Just built a polo bike today after trying it on the broadway market court with some of you guys a few onths back. Mainly cobbled together from bits I had lying around or out of boxes at charity shops. Managed to get spinnable front wheel with brakes:
Needs different bars as these are for another project.
Forks are 26" MTB and I've adapted the brakes with a bracket so they work with 700C. The brake cable threads though the bmx stem bolt and can spin without tangling as the whole system moves.
The brakes I used are a bit shoddy and the spring back isnt great. Hopefully get to use it sometime this week. I am malletless but have poles to trade for heads (see classifieds).
