Polo Bikes

'nother Coneja :) enjoying playing on it very much. A few tweaks and it'll be perfect.

Club roost I beam stem, nice

Sometimes I forget how small you are Rich! ; )

^I'll take that as a compliment :) miss you buddy

...and yes, the club roost I beam stem is awesome! It was bought of an old skool mountain biker at work for a fiver. Love it, just the right amount of reach and rise.

I've dropped the stem height now and the weight distribution is spot on. Everyone who rides it thinks its the bees knees. Very pleased. Now all I need to do is get good at polo...

nice, cranks are enough out of the way without the bike being all wierdly balanced

I'm sure Will won't mind me posting his bike. They're getting very popular in Melbourne. Takes 26ers and 700c, Columbus tubing, really nice.

Cool.

Nice. Any idea why it has such a short headtube?

HHSB points, obviously...

Living on instant noodles, he said. More likely to be from the tonne of cash spent on parts, no? ;)

Awesome bike, dude!

34/18 gearing? Yikes.

34/18 isn't that big a gear on 26".

~47 inches or so?

Pedalling through syrup.
