we start at 7, so see you there

nice one matt.

when yous next playing? getting my wheel built tomorrow, so should be ready by saturday

Sunday, 1pm, Gosforth. Good turn out last couple of games. Hope everyone made it back from ice polo unscathed.

pete may play tomorrow!

i've got the goals and 1pm is good for me

really good fun, glad i came through

decided its finally time for a dedicated polo bike!

bought some kit -
48h fixed/fixed halo aerowarrior rear wheel
custom polo bars by squarebuilt NYC

need a crankset - any good cheap recommendations? need short crank arms to avoid pedal strike

also a quill stem adaptor would be handy, anyone had any experience with one/got one lying around??

making a front wheel cover too :)

stoked.

Onza trials cranksets are a good bet for value and small rings.

I've read you can make your own polo-specific cranks. All you need is two con-rods from a 1941 Rolls Royce aero engine, a pair of output bearings from the transfer box of a 1957 Series I Land-Rover, a brass candlestick, a sparkplug from a Bedford MK army truck, a penknife or broken hacksaw blade, a pearl necklace (must be the type where all the pearls are the same size), some string, an empty custard tin, some Gin (or Vodka) and a bar of coal-tar soap. Easy. Never got round to doing it myself, 'cos I haven't got a penknife!

Too busy to come in today John?

Something like that Phil. Sent Dorothy an email to tell her I wouldn't be in today. I'll be in tomorrow though.

Hey guys, Cambridge are holding an Indoor Open and you're welcome to come and play with us. See here for details. Should be a good un.
