Polo Bikes

That's got nothing to do with the build, it's cos you never go in goal!

Ha! In my own defence, I stop a lot of shots mid-court!

Anyone used these forks before?

Bontrager SPA 700c straight forks with V–Brake bosses. Looks like they are made for hybrid bikes. One auction says they are 1756g, another says they are 1310g... There are a bunch of them on eBay for £39.99.

Oh what?! Are they actually straight, from steerer to dropout, or just straight but angled forward at the crown?

dont worry about the weight, for polo either way it will be ok.
ask for a pic by the side to check how much rake they have.

They're straight as in they don't have a curve in them but not straight as in 0°rake.

You can see the rake from the shadow of the steerer.

Ok so it looks like they are the forks from this bike this bike. It says they have 'integrated suspension' which I presume is all the guff up by the crown of the forks. I assume that would be removable?

yes, it will be removable, but, I dont think you can pass the headset down, if not how you get now tension for it?
I think what ever you do with them the headset will be in the same place it is now, so it will fuck the geo

Thanks Rik, you're most likely right. When I've asked the seller questions before (Axle to Crown, Rake etc), they took so long to reply that the auction had ended already. Probs worth letting these go...

Anyone in the market for a Thomson Elite Layback, 27.2, 410mm? Have got one, used but in immaculate condition, missing the pouch, asking for 40 quid.

Anyone want a 32t 104bcd Shimano Chainring for £5?

Wicksie, i may be interested just dont know the bcd of my cranks and i dont have the bike with me at the moment.

Yeah still not going to the post office though mate...
You might convince me after Xmas though, then you can have the lever also, for the listed price... ;)

Unless anyone else wants?
Sorry dude.

aha sure thing! ;)

That is going to be one pricey frame. The couplers alone, before a torch has been lit, are several hundred dollars.

Wicksie, are these forks any good to you? 1" steerer 700c with V-brakes ... £26.99 incl. delivery

Cheers Otters, already asked. Apparently they have a fair sized rake. :(

hey wicksie, what about these

cant really make out rake from picture but they look pretty straight. but no v brake bosses

agree Bill, but not having to pay for a bike in internal flies in the USA pays for the couples

It's bloody lovely tho', isn't it?

yep, I think the cost of couplers + fitting them is $500 but each flight in America with a bike is $100 extra. Doesn't take long to payback.

Picked up a White Industries 22t freewheel from PUSH yesterday... sweet as! LHBPA discount applied too. Can't beat a deal like that.

I know they got at least two others in the shop.

^ Tempting... Very very tempting...
