  • I am on the way to putting together a loaner polo bike for anyone who needs it.

    Sam has very kindly given us this frame
    http://www.lfgss.com/thread47564.html#post1538240 and thanks to Kev for backing out for this cause.

    I was wondering if between us we could make this in to a complete bike (I have no funds for this project sadly) because I have a couple of people who want to come to beginners polo but have no bike. We could also use this for any other events where people need it.

    We can then go on to use this thread to list anything else that is spare / loaner for the great polo cause. For example I have a load of kids sized mallets if we run any children's sessions again.

    So can anyone donate (or sell for really cheap (are there any funds for this?) )the following:

    Rear wheel (I'm thinking of doing this SS?) CRUMB
    25t or close freewheel
    1 1/8th forks RIK
    ahead stem JOE
    risers JOE
    front brake haroun
    rear brake Dublinkev
    brake levers SORETHROAT
    cables
    pedals JONO
    chain 1/8th JONO

    I have the rest.

    Thanks all.

  • Awesome, nice one... I have pedals (variety of) and chains (new, 1/8th or 3/32).

  • Put me down for ahead stem and risers... I'll dig them out...

  • Awesome, thanks guys, much appreciated!

  • I have some forks

  • Cheers Rik!

  • wow what a great idea, I'm definitely one of the people who wants to come to beginner's polo but sure don't have a bike anymore :(

    I have a brake lever from a unipack.. any use?

  • i have two decathlon levers that i bought as temps you can have.

    cheap as chips, but one was used for 2 weeks and one was put on a set of bars but never used.

  • I've got a couple of dirt harrys that nobody wants to buy. Can have them if you like.

  • hey sorethroat, can you give one to diapo? I saw her lever last night and its terrible, she'll be at beginners / casual next week probs.

  • I've got a couple of dirt harrys that nobody wants to buy. Can have them if you like.

    Angus you're a legend, thanks matey. Let me know when you're home and I'll swing buy. If you don't mind giving both away, I'll take the other one for diaplo.

    Thanks everyone else for the offers.

  • No worries I'll bring both, about 99% sure I still have both.
    I might swing by to beginners but if not then I'll drop you a pm Jonie and give them to you.

  • Sweet, thanks again. Come to beginners for sure mate. We (nearly) have a spare bike!

  • joni, i (think) i have a unipack rear wheel, which would work with a free wheel if its any use
    well more use than no rear wheel

  • Felix you star, I'll take it! Now, lets remove the 'U' word so no-one knows what it is, hey. ;)
    Joke.
    PM coming.
    Sorry to keep spamming this with replies to every post, but I really appreciated everyone's generosity and am excited about being able to help people to play polo.

  • Now, lets remove the 'U' word so no-one knows what it is, hey. ;)

    Coming from someone who rides a unipack... ;)

  • Eh? None of my 4 bikes are Unipack mate.

  • Eh? None of my 4 bikes are Unipack mate.

    I know...

  • hey Wicksie you can have that caliper back if you'd like, doesn't fit my bike, drilled hole in forks is too small?!

  • then drill a bigger one

  • London's gonna miss you Rik :)

  • then drill a bigger one

    sure would do if I had a drill, but thought it'd be useful here, was given it free anyway

  • Yes please haroun! Far less hassle than drilling a hole. ;)
    Thanks v much mate.

  • May have purchased a freewheel. So, if anyone has another calliper, we're away!
    Friday generosity anyone?

  • Just bought a 48h blb hub and I must say it does look/feel very good quality. Good threads, nice body and bearings, good solid nuts and a thorough axle.
