It's not about selling 100 frames to the existing UK polo market, it's about becoming the defacto supplier of polo frames for the foreseeable future, polo has roughly doubled in size each year since 1998, currently at around 25,000 players globally
Right. And instead they chose to compete in the cheap OTP fixie market along with specialized, charge, and all the rest, and just claim "good for polo", even when they know it lacks the very features of their own "quintessential" pompino that make it actually "good for polo". Its "good for polo" in the way a Fuji Track is. Good for riding to polo and watching.
If On-One dont want to make a polo bike, for whatever reason they want, I totally respect that. But dont ignore every suggestion we make, every attempt at communication, then tell me your new product is "good for polo". Because I just might find that a touch insulting.
@ed: Thats exactly my point :) Every one of those standard builds is closer to a bike thats "good for polo" that the Macarena, or whatever the new frame is called.
