I was expecting much more. thankfully it had nowt to do with me.

Yeah, I talked to them about it, and they clearly ignored me, when I said the pompino would be better for polo than this.

No v-brake mounts ffs.

Meh.

Idiots

I was under the impression this was still a work in progress but it must have already been on the ship here when they said they were interested in my ideas.

+1 meh

And so began the On-One backlash.

Just wait until everyone finds out about all Pompinos that broke in Barcelona.

on-one are racist

needs V brake mounts,
and flat bars,

also for me i'd like a slightly steeper fork

Just wait until everyone finds out about all Pompinos that broke in Barcelona.

Did they?

I hope mine does soon, then I can justify a shiny Dodici frame.

#allthegearandnoidea

All of them. They all broke. Because they didn't have flat bars.

lulz

What a piece of crap. I'm sure some nobheads will buy them though

er, it doesn't say that it is a polo specific bike, only that it can be used for polo (amongst many other uses).....

What is it good for though? Despite the heavy tubing its clearly not a trick bike, and with no eyelets its not a commuter either. If its just a budget fixie then fair enough, but putting trick and polo lables on it is silly.

Oh yeah, Winston, for sure, and I'm sure they'll sell lots of them, but not as polo bikes, which is what they were talking to us about.

Priceless.

There are too many pointing fingers in that photo

IMO

"Built to take abuse from hard street-riding and even Bike Polo" - if it doesn't have v-brake mounts, it's not really been built for polo. Very, very few polo players do not use V-brakes.

Why are there no polo specific frames in production that have all the bits required? I am interested as there would def be a market, there are loads of OTP taiwan made fixie-frames. The unit cost cant be that high considering the volume that are currently produced.

I know our requirements evolve pretty fast but something steel, with v brake mounts, track ends 135 spacing 26 and 700 version would do it? Or is it that pompino has cornered that market

I mean, I would buy one but it seems that nothing I have seen so far covers all bases so I use my trusty ole' Plug...yes, with original callipers. I guess as I weigh nowt the stopping power is sufficient for me but I do spend a fair amount of time truing

I spoke to a supplier recently. Unit cost is about £150 before VAT for double butted, F&F, but minimum order is 150 units. I doubt the UK could get that many orders together.

So it's basically a heavier, less versatile pompino. It will do nothing better than a Pompino would, except maybe crashing.

Priceless.

This picture has got to be a piss take.

Isn't the 14 bike out now?

And there is the supposed Dodici frame, but can't find any info on it.

this is exactly the issue. a specialist frame has a limited range of customers and the whole polo scene is pretty small.
