Need a polo bike

I've been looking around for ages now and can't seem to find anything good/cheap enough.
I'm after a low-quality, or just battered , bike for polo , more less 53-54 cm would be good. The idea is not to pay too much for it as it will get knocked about the court a lot anyway.

Does anyone have anything like this?
If it's only a frame then wheels would be good too - anyone have any shitty ones going?
Cheers

hehe nah , I only got the Harry Quinn to hang up the washing in the garden on.
You know , those vintage bikes are too old for anyone to possibly try to ride them

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
