Polo Bikes

I'm gonna be the first to say it, but that looks really silly.

Peng...

5 frames from the 70s, 90s & 10s
10 bottom brackets, road & mtb of various quality & cost

Never faced a frame, never had a problem

Peng...

This... And fbo?

As for bb's, podge, how many of those were external bb's? It's only externals were they recommend facing isn't it?

This... And fbo?

There are disk caliper mount on the rear, but with track dropouts. Er...

All of them were / are external

It's really not an issue people should be worrying about

Cool, that was basically what I'd hoped.

What would actually happen if the threads didn't line up properly? Worn axle or bearings?

bearings.

Apart from needing 2 BB's per frame?

It's not the biggest deal in the world but should help things last a bit longer.

Oops, Fixcraft got it wrong.

Yes, every time I destroy a BB with Peak District mud & grit I replace a BB on a different frame to keep my average equal.

The biggest issue with HT2 BBs is the seals but they are cheap enough to not care

Makes sense. Symmetry is important.

Sheffield polo courts are rough...

I know why Luca is lurking.

KABOOM

11.2kg without paint or optimal chainset/saddle/seatpost.

I finished it just before we shut. I've only sat on it so far.

I guess this has been resolved... ;)
Nice one, Jimmy, she's a beaut...

sweet! looks awesome! gotta try that out.

still want the NS back ;)

Luca, PM me about the NS if you're serious...

Essentially you can have the frame, headset, forks and wheelset for the same moneys I bought the frame for? It has a massive dent in the chainstay since you last had it, but I have chased and faced since the stuck BB so all is good in the BB dept. Let me know as soon as possible as I can't really have it cluttering up my shop, and taking it home is a no no as far as the missus is concerned.

it'll be a shame not to see it at the court under new hands... but It's fucking bombproof so it'll live a long life and I'm sure will see the court again.

yeah ill put 700cs in it and have a 700 jump bike. totally on trend

that looks freaking sweet jimmy

There's probably clearance for a 700 in the rear you know. But you'll defo need some 29er forks.

The trend for 2013 is 650B, anyway.

Nice jimmy, can't wait to see this on court....gold hubs for the win!!!

650b?! Scoble played that out early 12. Move on.
