Cambridge Polo

you big bunch of teaser terror phobes!!!
can't wait to see the bikes complete chaps

That wheel sounds good, I am rather interested, if your down tomorrow talk about it then.

Talking of builds my phillips fixie build has stalled a bit, i'm want to get a set of dia-compe grand compe cranks but they cost mucho-moolah. When its done should be a nice bike.

Yo!, I know there is a thread for Berlin but check this out.. I know how we all love surveys but fill 'er in so we can all get in in in!!

Cambridge Ambassador of Crack pipe and ball has finally found fame
What a beautiful man

haha bless him

Have just checked and reckon I can get hold of some Franklin's in NY. How many are we after? They ar $10.99 for a pack of 3.

As many as you can cram into your rapha travel bag

Ok. Also found these http://www.paragonsports.com/product/Franklin-Sports-NHL-Extreme-Color-Balls-15-pc-assorted_10551_100515241030-1.htm

We played with the multi coloured ones in london, there awesome!

If we asked boagey for a polo fund subsidy(I.e the polo fund buys then we recoup the money selling the balls) we could buy 10 packs giving us 30 balls, they we can split up between yours, mine and arrons suitcases for the flight home

don't be so hasty young jedi's

i got an email back from franklin yesterday after chasing, it is interesting...

We can only bill/ship to one account and we can only accept wire transfers from accounts outside of the US.

I would need to know what quantities you will be looking for so I can check availability internally, below are the hockey balls in question:

Model # Cost Case Pack Color Type

12205 $1.75 6 Yellow Low Density Ball – for use below 32º F
12209 $2.10 6 Red Super High Density Ball – for use above 70º F
#12207 $1.75 6 Orange High Density Ball – for use above 32º F

Please advise.

Thanks

Yes kids, that's $2.10 for a pack of 6 reds!!!!!

I'm going to post over on London, get their quantities, get our quantities down, place an order and play polo for forever.

Boagey, you will pay shipping, tax and VAT on it all so the price will be higher. You need to factor this in on the costing. I would also wait untill you get the final bill before giving a price due to pound losing value against the dollar.
Sorry to be a killjoy.

Yeah I realise that barney, however it is still cheaper than if we bought in a shop in the US or ordered personally over the internet. Also, as we're hopefully going in with the LHBPA (all being well) those additional costs will be split.

hmmm thinking about it, 500$ balls is nearly 1,500 franklins.

maybe this is not such a good idea...

Start an online shop ?

investment opportunity?

i'm gonna take it to the dragons den!

Soup Dragon

1,500 frankins enough for future generations to play polo until the end of time.
Cambridge Bike Polo workers co-operative?

haha i'm such a bogey. cost is per ball, not for 6. :P

Boagey, you idiot... So I presume we are still buying them?

i wouldnt mind buying one or two as part of that order so i can get some practice in. Any chance of tagging a couple on? Pleeeease? :)

The LHBPA are buying them in bulk then selling us a batch at cost price (so that includes vat, shipping customs etc, we can't afford to spend out what we need to to get the cheap price). Still should be pretty cheap. The polo fund will be buying them, so everyone who plays polo will get free balls.

Just waiting for the LHBPA to have their meeting to agree it then we'll have an order placed.
