Newcastle Polo

still playing polo.?
i might need a refresher session.

Thursday night?

thursday neet. yes.

Polo-bike in bits
Still need to fab up some forks
I could be some time

I can make it. Been dying for a game!

Matt i have your chainring and bolts and need to give them back, I've had them ready to pass on for ages but not been to perlow in a long time. I'm also currently in France, which aint much help either mind.

Divn't sweat it Andy - I'll catch you when you're back.

What forks are you after John? Anything the polo community can help with or does 'fab up' mean you're going for some home-brewed new invention?

Can't seem to find the straight, trick-style forks I want in 1" threaded style. They all seem to be 1 1/8 threadless and cost 'money'. So rather than buy some and alter them, I thought I'd try to fabricate my own.

Exact spec is 1" threaded, dead straight with zero rake and zero offset, no canti mounts, disc mounts only, and they need to cost next to nothing.

I've bought the steel now so I'm kinda committed to making them. Shit, I've hyped this right up, it better work.

Oh, and I'm surprised that no-one spotted the worst (and probably only) bike-polo haiku in the world.

we on for thursday 7pm?
2 v 2 is ok isnt it?

never played before, but i might have a pedal along see what its like

Everyone still on for 7pm tonight, i've got the goal from John.

Yep - see you at Gateshead.

Welcome to the fold Carl. I have 100% confidence you'll love it. Money-back guarantee. Usually Gateshead Thursday, 7 and Sunday, Gosforth, whenever we get round to it. Directions to both are in the thread somewhere.

yes 7 at the scruffy courts

gutted i can't make tonight , but exams next week loom..... :(

yeah il defo make an appearance like. just have to wait till my wheels built.

You said it

Been sooo tempted to post pics of polobike v2.0 so far, but I think i'll wait 'till it's finished. Looking good so far, though. Hoping to get it ready for first test next weekend.

hi there, just wondering if it is alright if I pedal down to watch... If so ill drop by with carl

polo is open to all mate. the more the merrier!

Thanks, hopefully ill reassemble my fixed gear by then.. See you there

Not sure if anyone's playing tonight but i can't make it, so no goals. sorry
