Removing derailleurs and filing off braze-ons is one thing; this takes puppy killing to heady new heights. It raises interesting questions and I still don't know how I feel about it.
On the one hand, it's just one of many unused 80s bike frames. You can afford to cut it up to make a unique creation which may or may not improve your polo skills but it will be yours and it will feel great to have commissioned and used such a thing. Is it akin to Obree destroying a functional washing machine because it contained one small but ideal part to make something new and successful? People spout a lot of bollocks about converting bikes and there is little doubt that that frame was never going to be competitively time-trialed again so what 'better' could become of it than to be part of a bike played in polo tournaments?
On the other hand, you have had a brief flirtation with the curly seat tube because a handful of other polo players are using them. How do you assess that it will help your play when you are already very good at getting weight over the back end to manoeuvre your bike? Are there other tubing configurations to achieve the same effect without destroying a striking and well-built bike to make something altogether more amateurish? Is it a waste of raw materials and energy? Is this question redundant when most of us already own several bikes more than we actually need and endless other piles of manufactured stuff.
The main thing is you'll be using it rather than doing exactly the same thing, documenting the process and labelling it as an another tired art project which discusses 'throwaway consumerist culture'. It could be great. As long as you leave that one tube pink of course.
