Sweet...! Where are the wheel covers from..?

They had them laser cut them I think? There's a thread about it on http://scottishbikepolo.co.uk

been thinking of using my steamroller as a daily bike and getting something like this for polo:

anyone have any experience with that frame?

Lee from Cambridge has been using a plug for years! (welded v-brakes) and it's fine, super strong. Plug frame with some Velvet forks could be a killer combo, you'd never need a custom bike!

Isn't a plug pretty similar to a steamroller in terms of geo?

Has anyone had any experience of the fixiefoxie polo f&f? I rode Paul's around a bit a couple of weeks ago and really liked it. Has anyone broke one yet? They seam like a good deal for €350 shipped.

Zsofia's was hideously late, and had the bosses in the wrong place.

My teammate Gert helped develop their first polo frame and has been happy with his one for about 10 months now. Nothing broken / bent so far.
He is changing to a Max Power frame though (because of couplers).

I think they are really solid frames for the price and look great in raw + black fork. Had ordered a VeloLucuma already, else I would have gone with a FixieFoxie as well.

It'll be FBO and I'm just gunna have disc tabs on the fork. They say it'll take 8 weeks from receiving a deposit, which will give plenty of time to source the new parts needed

sort of.

slightly smaller (-2cm st and -3cm tt) and slightly higher bb.

both good things.

Also, I really like the Steamroller, and recon that with some 38c tyres and the original fork would make a pretty rad daily ride.

Has anyone considered the Cotic Roadrat as a polo frame? I saw one at work, the small size I think, and it looks really strong, with OK geometry for polo too. Also has disc brake mounts and lots of tyre clearance, which I'm not too bothered about, but I know a lot of people look for this in a frame.

F+F for 300 quid

57.7cm ETT in even the small size is much longer than I'd look for in a polo frame, I'd want steeper angles and less rake on the fork too. For that money you could get a Fixiefoxie or Hija.

its pretty loooong.

Toe clearance, you'd has it.

From memory, the Roadrat comes in a short and long top tube, not sure what difference it makes to the length/geometry....

Their website seems to be suggesting they've now done away with that approach, and just have one ETT for each frame size.

I thought about getting one for a while. Came to the conclusion the fork might not be the best for polo unless you're a leftie as the disc mount's on the drive side of the bike

Didn't max have one years ago?

Why not get a Marino / Velo Lucuma or Fixie Foxie polobike?

or a 2nd hand fgfs bike on here....

Get a Pompino, you know you wanna ;)

When are you opening "Beagle's pompino boutique?"

Pomptique?
