New FMB Ballista build by someone at Lancaster Polo - http://lancasterpolo.com/2014/03/20/first-look-fbm-ballista/

that fbm is seksi

Many toe overlap.

theres a severe lack of 26" curved seat tube triple traingle bikes now a days. everything looks old school. might as well be on a FGFS framset by the looks of most of these.

Not into that Ballista. Ruined the Sword.

Pake are being used by almost all Seattle players right now. Unbelievably cheap.

I'd love to see a MOTH on a court. Saving an eBay search with notifications right now.

Quite like the look of the ballista now. Been having serious neck Steeze the last few weeks and gave into a higher front end. I don't like the way it plays as much, but at least I can play a decent amount of polo without a bad neck affecting my game.

Apart from my Oak, which is teh awesomez, my old 54cm Sparton track frame built into the best polo bike ever... Can't believe I got rid of it to get a Pomp...
pukes, weeps

Koyo's FBM. The fork is super thin and the head tube makes the bike look too big for him.

Dustin's Paké. Pretty much the Seattle standard.

Marco and Sterling's bikes fell off the motorway after a tournament in Portland last weekend.

The paint job is super sweet for an otp frame.

Is this the smaller size? He told me in Miami the one he was riding for the worlds was too big and he was getting a smaller one with a 54 TT.

Em, did dusty break his bilenky, (is that what he had in florida?) or just decide to get a pake.

^^ Different frame (the prototype cracked), smaller tt. Don't know overall size.

^ He had a L'Esperance frame but the chain stays gave up.

Cutout on the back of the seat-tube of the pake frame, is that standard or is it a diy job?

just looked again, are my eyes playing tricks on me?

No, looks like a cut out, the wheels are the same size too.

Pretty sure it is just a sticker.

A sticker that's been cut out?

No cut out on their site.
