If woody's not taking the high risers I want them please!

And on another issue, how the hell do you put the picture IN the post and not a silly thumbnail?

just to reiterate, as i fear trouble posting on 2 threads, i would like the pedals please x

I think thats what I'm watching (cant check im in college). I prefer the look of the mk1. Can you fit 3 piece cranks on these old frames?

Oh, I see the full URL in my post now. http://www.thesportshq.com/ca-cricket-box.aspx?CAWELAID=414214777.

Dont you hate the look of modern BMXs? top tube angle is too steep drop, its almost a straight line from the headtube to dropout. All of them are stupid tacky looking colours.

Don't 14 Bikes have a new (the first?) polo-specific framest out this week (and will it be ridden by their teamsters)??

How would you make a frameset polo specific?

i though Andys Milwaukee bruiser was polo specific but i just seen its a trick frame, i dont think you can make something polo specific just good for polo, but lots of bikes already are.

the joust frame by watford appears to be for polo, im not sure what makes it better than anything else though

Ask your sponsored team to input into the design/specifications then ride/play on it is my informed guess...

i think its more like what would make it good, tight or slack angles tyre clearance strength tight turning circle etc, i think there are enough frames out there that forfill polo needs already

Horses for courses I guess. Me, in a another life would be all over that joust like a rash. But half the fun I've been having for the last three months is watching all your bikes, seeing how you ride, trying a few of them and now building the "ogre max". The joust makes a nice comparison against which personal taste can be expressed in all it's fiddle nuance.

And can you make the rain go away please.

yeh are we going to play at plattfield tonight?
