Check their fb page...

Yeah:

I can't quite tell if they are either really good at marketing, or amongst the crap actually make a decent polo bike, a lot of people seem to like them.

I saw a couple of these in a shop window in Madrid, except they weren't polo specific in that they had drops etc. Needless to say they looked like rebadged Creates, really cheap and poorly built.

Has anyone ridden one?

Headtube angle looks super slack; never going to be a good polo bike.

Curved seat tube though, that makes it an awesome polo bike right?

It's wheels are also lined up for goals.

I know. I heard a rumour it was 26 and 700c compatible; which I hope is not true. Either way I'm pretty excited. Way more than for iPhone 5

Will there be a load of poloistas whooping, cheering and bashing their mallets on the ground whenever someone buys one?

It is:

Why would you hope it isn't?

Because if you put 26" wheels in a 700 frame you get a lower BB and the wheelbase is longer than necessary for the same amount of toe-space on the same cranks.

tl;dr it's sub-optimal.

jack of all trades, master of none.

I'm pretty sure it's just the forks that are both 26''/700.

It doesn't make sense to make a frame for 26" and 29" then make a fork to go in either.

It's a bodge. Will be interesting to see if it works with one better than the other.

The rear disc brake mount, thats not much use really is it?

You need bigger eyelets so you can move the caliper around (like the pompetamine frame), based on where the axle is sitting in the dropouts, dependent on what gear you're running... or those sliding dropouts.

or

Yeah, or the pad may not be sat on the disc properly.

I guess this is going to be a cheap frameset then...
