Polo eBay finds/marketplace

Luca, what colour is the frame? I've a bit of time in the shop so I may as well start dreaming a build together.

Baby blue

Finding geo on this bike is a nightmare. Even the distributor can't find deets on the 2005-08 frames.

Luca, what fork worked best for you in terms of no jackknife/wheel flopping? I am going to have to get a fork, I work in a bike shop so I may as well get it as polo-specific as possible. Was going to order a fork for the dynatech before it started making funky noises but I know that frame, and 90's XC frames, quite well.

I have no idea what would or wouldnt work on a jump frame. Help me out guys?

i used a tuff guy fork all year, worked very well. (pictured above) but then again i was using a 35mm stem. i was thinking of getting some plug forks (or something similar) and modding them to make them 0 rake, just because i could and see the results.

also i am bringing it to polo tonight and going to clean up the BB thread. hopefully not to much damage has been done. it looks ok.

this photo was taken at begining of august, shows frame well

Oh my god James, this is going to be such an improvement on your current bike.

so properly analysed the BB thread. on the left side there is thread which is left from the old bb (the lockring snapped off) people said this is not very hard to sort? drill it a little and it falls off?

can't you just chase the threads

i dont know.. is that the easiest way?

ok guys after a big crash last night i managed to snap the rails on josh's arione (very very sorry) i have given him my one but that now means i am in market for a saddle. just something cheap. any one got a thin one?

I've got a comfy and thin velo leather saddle yours for£5 ill post a pic when I can or bring to polo tomorrow Luca....

How on earth did that happen?

a new guy came out of no where as i was accelerating hard and i did a big endo and as i landed my knee twisted the saddle... ben that would be cool can i see a pic? i might have something sorted but for £5 cant go wrong..

Pivotal ftw!

Thanks Luca, I think I'll go for some identiti rebat parks maybe... have to look up info.

Don't worry too much about the BB shell, I've rescued many seized in and screwed threaded bb shells. Helps working in a well equipped bikeshop with excellent mechanics :)

I'm in for your saddle SuperLuca. Can you send me a photo of it?

thanks!

Im pretty sure SuperLuca is looking for a saddle, not selling one

I'll take the broken one, just cos he's sat on it

.

cheap alternatives to ariones are planet x and cboardman.

Obviously Arione users will see you a mile off. But they are the cheapest way to do it.

Joni, do you want those grips you told me you would buy or not?

Yes please Snoops, sorry, I still want them. I can Paypal you if you like? Not sure when I'll see you next.
Or if there's anyone who's northy and Southey that could get these for me and I'll repay you the £5 (?) ? and beer?
