Beginners Polo

Size wise, It'd say 49cmish? It can fit 5ft 5 girl on easy enough, so it's not exactly huge... Found some grips earlier, so that's all sorted...

Awesome. Littlewhitebike, small enough?

thats pretty small-ish!

i'm a 5 ft 1, my current frame is a 46cm but i'd love to give this bike a shot!!

When it's totally finished, feel free to borrow...

aww thanks! give me a shout when you think I can borrow it to try out!

It's done really, just need a brake lever really..

It's early spring (dafodils are blooming!) If anyone is upgrading their bikes/equipments, some cheap(ish) bits:

Stem + Risers combo - Truativ Hussefelt 40mm risers + stubby stem, both oversized - 29.95

Cranks + BB - External bearing type, comes with 32/22T chainring hence you can either go micro drive or =/>20T freewheel/sprocket for a low 40's GI - 59.95

Rear hub - Halo 48H cassette hub, helps with the chain line issue as you have 9 slots to place your rear cog to get it inline with the front, 135mm, QR, White or Gold - 30.00

Good place for anyone looking for polo stuff.

I am after some Deore/DeoreLX cranks in a 170mm square taper affair. Let me know if anything turns up. The 175's are killing me on quick turns.

tonight might have to be a no-go for me :(
but i'd like to get the small loaner bike fixed up and get on it soon! anyone has any old brake levers to spare?

LIST TIME!

Could do.
I personally wouldn't as I don't have my bike but it's defo a good idea.
I'm not sure there are many in for tonight though.

Show of hands?

i'm in.
+1 to newt

souths thread says league game is at 7.30

in for throw ins before

joni share the loani?

I don't haz...

I can't make tonight sorry. I'm busy stuffing my face with pancakes.

Ok.
Joni where is your bike?.Do you want the bike that you borrow me?

I have it and will ghost it to newington.

Bike complete, work not, so no polo for me, and there's pancakes to be eaten. Pan. Cakes.

Commute on it and you'll see that your bike control improves quite a lot. Might be quite daunting at first, but once you have made it a routine, it becomes 2nd nature and the ride doesnt seem that long afterall. Sprint then freewheel then sprint, swerve to avoid potholes etc. polo training on the road :) 43GI on mine and loving it, will be dropping it close to 40 once I have my new cranks.

so what does this all mean.. i'm down! but i don't actually have a bike still..

it means that for this week, we might move to the newington court on harper road. combined tuesday beginners with the experienced crowd. it's outdoors and floodlit. there are 2 courts next to each other if we have enough people for two games at once
