Manchester Hardcourt Bike Polo (MHBP)

The large picture of the rear mech makes me think otherwise

Sorry dude I thought we were on the jump bike in chester as that was the one with the wheel size questions.

maybe more Tum's size & will need a bit of work...: http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/gt-outpost-trail-bike/94530642

not looked on gumtree in years...

I thought Tum has that revolution SS with horizontal dropouts? If so then all he really needs is a smaller front ring to drop the gearing.

oh yeah, forget that then...

cheap CX frames.... http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/new-cyclocross-tourer-56cm-butted-cromo-frame-carbon-forks-headset-binder-post-spacers-79/95326209

I have meet up with this guy on Friday in Fallowfield Sailsbury at 12am.

Let see if it can works. If anyone is free and want to come to see it is welcome!

Also thinking in the Chester one... I asked him to send me more photos to ensure more if it can be fine or not before going there. I haven't got a response yet.

it's not that much worse than mine or Emyrs.

I wouldn't say that my bike is representative of what most people would choose for a polo-specific bike, although Mirek's is also a jump bike... I think mine's the only polo bike round here with a 12cm stem.

GT is nice

For 15£ more and the train ticket to Chester (around 10£) can be better the jump bike I think. Do you agree?

Saw that GT and wondered what options there are for SS conversion - can someone direct me to the relevant sources of wisdom?

Over there >>>

GT probably has vertical dropouts so you're looking at a chain tensioner and then a bunch of spacers and rear cog of desired size on the back.

jump bikes already SS and more modern are obvs superior to old quill stemed, geared GT and the like.

Cons of chain tensioner? Surely it'll come off as much as Drew's?

which jump bike?
you will have to make sure it has a long seatpost

The chester one would be the best one, already singlespeed and has rigid forks.

I've lost track - has anyone already said they're going for the jump in Chester???

Stolen kona down the road from me http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/kona-moutnain-bike/97891692

This is the jump one.

I could go there if it is the best choice.

not sure about the size of the seatpost

No photo but there's an orange p7 on there, that'll be well good for polo, if it's 2000 or later it'll have swopout dropouts so no need for a tensioner.

CAN SOMEONE LEND ME £200 QUID?!!!!!!!

I take it the 'size smaller' still applies to MTB frames...

Yeah, it's a large, I'd love a p7, I looked at getting a newer one before I did the marino, bloody expensive though.

What is an orange p7? about what bike are you refering?
sorry but all this vocabulary is new for me ;-)

Although it'll be an older version.

It feels wrong being this excited at work. Phwooaar the P7 :-/

more likely like this:
