Vintage polo bikes rescued!

I've got a pair of psycho II tyres for you recidivists.
You may need to trim some side-knobbles, they are 1.95.

haha, rob brakeless on riser's :)

I'm fairly sure he had a polo mallet in is had at one point too.

Those bikes are such wicked fun, even with the laurel and hardy back wheel that was going on on the one I tried.

No parts as such, but I have plenty tools, grease and a bit of know how, so will help out with pleasure.

Gaffer tape works fine as make do rim tape provided you keep pressures down, 80psi range.

Tempted to buy an archie wilkison after trying these out.

Will there be a trip over to the Dublin grass polo next year?

i've got one front speedway wheel. and probably one mtb front somewhere- (disc brake)
yours if needed.

I've got a pair of plastic pedals that you can have.

Thanks for that Snowy....

there is in fact 8 allins.....two of them are wheel-less frames at the mo.

the frames on these are NICE
extra short wheel-base looks good.

Flat mate / London bycyle repair shop have 3 seats, and can get tyres for £3 each (and they may even include tubes!).

I've got a few 26" innertubes. Not that it's a great donation but it's all I have from your list.

thanks!

Is anyone who lives near HH going to West beers this week so I can donate those MTB tyres in a lazy manner?

Possibly, but I've noticed my girlfriend has sneakily put 'Cook dinner for your lovely girlfriend' in my diary for Thursday night.

Thanks for all the other offers, I'll try and PM you all at some point over the next couple of days...

More pedals here you can have, just crappy plastic ones though if thats alright

Crappy plastic ones are ideal.

There were some 26" wheels abandoned on Kingsland Road earlier, outside the funny little bike shop (by Scooter Den) if you still need some.

Today, changed a few saddles, gaffer-taped some rims, changed some tubes....and we now have three (sort of working) bikes....

"The famous" Jason C helped me out a bit and we had a bit of a knock-around in the car park...

track must have been rained off?

it was...

then I made the right choice taking the hybrid to RP instead

Wow, these are really beginning to take shape. Would like to see an old-school bikes vs. new-school bikes match.

There is an amazing Irish grass polo video that comes up on You tube once you have watched the clip above (which is jolly good in itself of course).

Nice work chaps. I've got some tyres here. I think my old man might have a front wheel. Oh I've got a saddle as well.

I've got an email (sadly at work) written to all the people offering bits and bobs. I'll send it tomorrow to arrange a convenient time to meet / collect.

Winston, do you want my speedway bike to add to the collection?

would love to compare the frames....see how different the wheelbase is...

Ahem..that funny little bike shop as you call it is actually a wicked little bike shop, main man there fixed an old unicycle I was lucky enough to pick up for free but which was unipedal at the time..he found an old crank behind the counter, welded it on, stuck the pedal on, and demonstrated how to ride it..so please don't slag them off..they'd probably even give you bits or help for the bike polo cause for free if you spoke to them nicely ;-]
