Gosh with all this 26 wheels, straight fork, short frames (aka circus-geo) all around these days, their bikes looks almost standard. Plus these guys are maybe just next level if some fallow this way further.
Honnestly, all other example you post snopps are pointless because they are way too much different than other bike. If these guys come and kick ass with bikes like that, wich i doubt because of the way we play now (body-check, full speed come back etc...) then some gonna follow, if not... they just gonna look creepy on court until they change their setup for something more adjusted.
Don't think we should think to much about how our seriously or standardized our sport look like, this things goes naturally. And we never gonna be a normal or really popular sport, " Vélo polo? quoi?", gonna be the answer for years and years, and most of people don't gonna even notice that these guys have a different setup than a sharp geo 26wheel bike. (what about dirt frame etc..)
