Polo eBay finds/marketplace

Mis-read, nevermind.

I'm surprised you managed to make any sense of my drunken posting!/;)

Also, are you sure you want a small one? They really are tiny and have a lot of toe overlap. If you're reasonably comfortable on the large one then a medium would be better for polo.

Would toe overlap be such an issue if I ran MTB front wheel?

I guess slightly less so, but I'd imagine it would still be there. I could test it for you if you want, I have a small pomp and a 26" wheel lying around

Pomps are designed for 700c, wouldn't go 26" unless you want to make it even more twitchy than it already is

I have a large pomp with 26 front end, it actually improves the handling as it makes the head tube a bit steeper.

You want a fork with 410mmish axle-crown and regular of rake 40mmish. But you'll prob need to run a 1.6 tyre or less to avoid toe overlap.

I've also got a pomp with 26 front. I like it.

Same here, handling feels much better to me. Far less front wheel "flop".

So am i right in thinking a Polo bike is just a high gear fixie with narrow bars?

Anyone got a pic?

ignore me i found the 'bike' thread. doooh!

Or look here http://leagueofbikepolo.com/bikes

Nice. :)

Shameless cross thread plug (sorry)...but need to make some room in the house!

I have this Kona cindercone F&F for sale.

has had track ends fitted but canti posts etc are all still there so would make it perfect polo.
Also a set of bomb proof 26" wheels.

£75 for a Kona Hahanna. Bought as a first pollo bike for my girlfriend but its too small. Would make a pretty decent first polo bike/pub bike

Can I dibs mallet Caroline? and will recycle slightly tired and emotional one into beginners pool.

Potentially interested in the mycro, no idea if it will fit though... Do you know what the size guide is in cm?

I'll second dibs the mycro, if that's ok.

Sure, collect from LO?

The mycro fit me pretty well, and I wear a 51-57cm road helmet, so should be ok if you're in that range?

Cool, noted.

Collection at LO is go! And ta!

Cool, will let you know what day I'm down. Are you still looking for a polo steed? I'm selling my mtb/commuter, its not set up for polo atm, but its a dinky size and would be easy to convert to ss.

does anyone have an 18 tooth freewheel for sells?
