are they gonna make a 26" bruiser?

26" for tricks, presume it will have 0 drop on the bb and long top tube. The americans don't seem to be switching to 26 like Euros are. On LOBP it seems to be you are either 26 or 700, and you've been that way since the beginning as a result of previous cycling history.

*Same great Bruiser geometry and** 700c of course!***

"Why go 26" when you can fit massive tires on a 700c / 29'r wheel? That being said, we raised the bottom bracket a bit to compensate for those 26" conversions and there's a 26" Bruiser coming out as well."

This is why I asked from the prolly article when the V2 was first pictured...

But that is referring to the trick bruiser, not the polo bruiser. I think. I hope you're right and they do release a polo bruiser in 26 though.

Ah yes...

But still, would be awesome. Anyway pie in the sky, until I haz job and have moved down! good to prepare I guess...

I chose a 26" bike because it had horizontal dropouts and a relatively strong frame without spending a lot of money. If I were to get a custom polo bike why would I get a 26" over a 700c? A 26" wheel would be mildly stronger but how would it effect the geo? Increased toe overlap?

ok, shameless self promotion:

*I've got a Milwaukee polo guard (not the sugino specific version) and a Profile Bmx (black version/bolt on) 110bcd 5 arm spider to fit it if anyone going to the Bristol Tourney is interested...?

Profile Spider £10

I had a look at yorgos new docici frame in Paris last weekend. His small size was quite similar to my medium pompetamine (slightly tighter rear and steeper seat tube).

Looks like a really nice frame. The only thing I would check is what fork length the geo is designed for if you are not going to order their fork with it ( I remember yorgos being as short as 380 ac)

What do people who know what they're on about reckon? is 75 mega steep for the seat tube?
