  • nice tim, how much of the steerer did you cut off out of interest?

  • Yeah, I'm a fat-ass (95kg)

    Shit don't know how mine has lasted this long, I'm 114 or so!

  • nice tim, how much of the steerer did you cut off out of interest?

    None yet, still getting a feeling for it. Is the top of your headtube threaded too? What's that all about!

  • yeah, my guess its so you can cut it straight when you do cut it, its way too high up for anything to do with a headset. Im sure someone will come in with the real reason

    Bring on the boffins.

  • Just a guess but could it be something to do with the manufacturing process?

  • For a start, its probably your steerer tube thats threaded not your headtube.

  • What did people do with theirs? I think I'm going to continue playing on it, maybe a bit more gently, on the presumption that if it fails, it won't be catastrophic as there's three other tubes holding the wheel on.

    i discovered the exact same crack on mine at the london open this year. im not complaining though, its a 4yr old frame and im a fatty too (bout 90-95kg) still playing with it but not as aggressively .. depressing as i only started hopping just before i saw the crack. im just gonna get it welded and use it as a commuter again

  • Would it be to much effort to fix the all the broken pompinos? Possibly replacing the crimped area with some thicker gauge tube or going for a machined BB area? If anyone has a broken pompino they're chucking out I might take it off you to fix it up. I'm comparatively light anyway (70kg).

  • ex-polo bikes as commuter bikes is what its about...

    my steamroller now has a 100mm stem, mostach bars, nexus, flat padals and front and back v-brake. can cruise all day.

  • Hi every one,

    I'm working on polo geometry and I was wondering what was the average on direction and seattube angle. Looks like every body stays on 73-74degres, Am I wrong? Has any one build some less sharp angles?
    Well hope my old Giant stone breaker will soon be a collection piece, even if it's brilliant.

  • That is fancy Pique, very very fancy.

  • Please don't let me ride it PK. Cost me a fortune last time.

    Looks amazing.

  • fuck yeh piqe, its facing the wrong way round though surely?

  • Please don't let me ride it PK. Cost me a fortune last time.

    Looks amazing.

    You & the mvPK seem to get new bike fun every couple of months!

    Same bike, different size.

  • looks great pique. i'll upload pics of mine soon, almost identical apart from the rear disc brake!

  • fbo, pk on trend!

  • nice one Pique

  • nice one PK, mine is in the mail, hoping to have it ready in a few weeks

    you going to put wheel covers on it or is 36 spokes on 26 rims enough to stop a ball..?

    I've never had a ball go through but I don't go in goal that much.

  • Cheers fellas, will get some decent photos soon I guess.
