Polo Bikes

Saw one of these in BC windows. Looks awesome (apart from the colour).
Depending on wheel base, it could be an awesome polo bike.

I was looking at that yesterday too! I had a little sex-wee...

Not sure how great it'd be for polo, but it'd build into an awesome tough everyday bike...

It's a Troll apparently!

Would definitely make an awesome everyday bike.
Wonder how tight you could get it with a smaller fork.

You're a troll...

Anyone had any experience, good or otherwise with these?

I'm considering getting a pair.

Me and Chan have the Hollowtech version there really good, pretty light, very strong i would definitely recommend them

you may want to replace the chain ring with a nice one like this when it wears out:

Is that the one called 'Megaexo'?

Yeh this one

Only 175mm available. Not sure if I can handle that. How do you find it?

Anyone can point me in the right direction for a decent and cheap ISIS BB? Have had a look on the internet and they seem quite expensive. Maybe I am just being cheap?

I've been using this this one for a while, not mega cheap though

i had 165 chan has 165 so maybe shop around abit for 165 or 170s Length is your decision but as far as the cranks go i can fault them, what length do you run now and do you get pedal strike?

What are people's opinions on the Paul Motolite V brakes for polo use? Are they really as good as it gets when it comes to v brake technology? Or would i be better off buying some less pretty but just as efficient cheaper brakes?

Just get profiles with a ti BB, much stronger and better! any cranks size as well

Sexy...

^I want to try some of those - I like the idea of getting rid of stupid noodles/rollers.

Thanks. It's slightly more than what I'd like to pay for the moment.

Any thought of this?

reviews don't look great but I guess your not gonna being doing big jumps and stuff on it so could be ok

my bike is finally functioning:

That looks, vicious. I love it.

Are those the 130 spaced forks?

FSA ones £65, profiles £130 plus a ti axle is £90!

way too expensive

yorgo, looks wicked!

I'm not into those alu-pretending-to-be-steel headtube lugs. Otherwise, sweeet!

no! bought some normal 120mm Leader forks, then got them shortened by 3cm cause it felt like I was riding a chopper.
