blam! polo bike for life

@ rhb, come play polo!

I dont think i've ever seen a hipser with a mullet....

well then you probably need to get out more ;)

Ha... I'll come along and watch more sometime (popped into the UK Champs). Would be interested to look at the break down in the skills and techniques to help put together some coaching drills for newbies / kids... or is this done already (I really not following the scene at all)?

the hip replacements (polo team, played at the uk champs) used to do a beginners session on saturdays but that stopped when one of them moved to canada... if you've got experience in coaching and are willing to come along and learn the game we could def use your help! check this thread for when we play but it's usually thursdays @ whitworth park. bring a bike and we'll lend you a mallet!

it does doesn't it, may well place a bid... was gonna get a tensioner like yours but it's not adjustable for different gears.

may not actually, the seller said he's 6' 2" and it's perfect for him so too big for me.

i wouldn't let that put you off, the toptube slopes down low and he has a load of seatpost sticking out
