Ryan should be 1st preference if you can do that.
But you need to get down there and see him ideally and have a chat about your play.
Supporting local is a nice thing to do.
So far all frames have been complete custom so they all feel different.
Set-up is a whole other thing too.
14 are picking their business back up and use Lee Cooper to build their polo frames.
You would have to spec geo though or ride someones 14 and tell them which one you want. The zero rake thing is optional. Cam has rake. I switched out my forks for a raked fork too. So needs to be considered at least. 14 are building some new polo frames so you might want to hold out and see what they ride like?
It's still supporting a local London company yet they they need to be told what the players need unlike Ryan, Max, etc.
I love the look of the 14's.
With Merino you have to be precise with your geo. Better to get one of Alejandro's. PK's rides really well and I'm excited to try Julias. Always dangerous ordering something you're not so sure about. Seen some odd geo choices with Merino. Cheap though.
I love the feel of the Riding In Circles frames. One of the nicest I've ridden.
Woods' bike is awesome.
I like the look of the Joust wide. Bit more relaxed at the rear which I think is good.
Dodici are good. Heavy?
Max Power are really nice. I'd definitely consider one.
Fixcraft? Not quite there imo. more suited to 700c
Not sure about others except a triton ti frame would be pretty rad.
