26 x 1.35 outer radius is about 315mm
60mm BB drop means you''ve have a BB height of 10 inches, which is CRAZY LOW for polo.
Assuming the geo chart is with a Bruiser S700 fork (400mm A-C, 32mm rake) and that this comes with that fork, you'll have about 55mm of trail which might be low enough to make up for the 400mm chainstays and (rough guestimate) 1000mm wheelbase.
TL;DR:
Don't use a bruiser with 26" wheels unless you intend to run tyres so big they have a 700c-esque diameter.
Unless you have small feet and run short cranks, 26" is the way to go, whatever Luca, Chan and Beagle tell you. Get something cheaper, like a Hija De La Coneja or a custom Mielec.
