Polo Bikes

Polo ready Bruiser

sexy!

^That second dimple in the bruiser chainstay looks like it's from the factory, but doesn't appear in the other pic, odd. looks mean though.

Anyway - me me me. I now have a solid 65mm bmx stem, and by tomorrow should have drilled / hacksawed / filed my fork dropouts by about 15mm.. it's incremental.

I tried flipping the forks forwards on Monday, but it felt weird and I had the dreaded 'handlebar snap syndrome' so now I'm back to negative rake.
Filing the fork just to get the front end down a bit (frame was designed for 80mm sus forks)

Does anyone have a BMX gyro going spare?

The full Bruiser was one of the prototypes, they've changed a few things for the production version. The chainstays are more kicked inwards than the built version above so the extra dimple was unnecessary.

Can't help on the Gyro front I'm afriad but if you end up getting a new one buy a sealed version as they work far far better.

The Germans don't fuck about when it comes to polo bikes.

Not sure where to post this, but Fast Boy Cycles made a bash guard for the disc brake purely for polo, and it's removable too!

anyone before i order? $12 for a bashguard is a bargain

I have a bashguard from them rik. I cant recommend them, it has bent at twice in the the month its been on my bike. Have a look at it this weekend before you order yours.

thanks Otto, I will do... a bit disappointing then

todd sort out the gear ratio and the stupid aido bars but that's a hell of a cosmic colnago.

breandn, stpo typing os fast, and you'd mkae sesne.

And here was I thinking that Brendan would be busy extolling the virtues of freewheel polo bikes.

Oh and I want a front brake.

I might try Kev's double brake/one lever method.

I've been thinking the same thing. Hold off on it for now though as there's an old BMX method which, if I can get it to work, saves on having as many brazeons attached to your frame.

Also I've just found the new Avid Cantis which look amazing and the cyclocross world's feedback looks to be impressive.

I'm running two brake levers on the same side - I've got a shorter lever on top

you can still modulate your stopping with two levers which I like

Sooooooo, after the disappearance of my old Polo Bike on monday, my boss has told me im far more useful when im mobile, and to buy a new bike on company credit cards, the cost of which will then get pulled out of my bonus (whenever that comes)...he said spend 600squid

basically ive just been given 600 squid to build a polo bike however i like....I am tempted to join the sword brigade as i really like the frames, but then im a bit scared of blowing £400 on just a frame......any suggestions?
