• Resigned myself to the fact that I'm not going to be playing polo any time soon and I really don't need another fixed/single speed bike.

    Bought from Ben's Cycles during lockdown. They had used it as a demo frame for a year and it the paint has a few chips and scratches, but no dings or dents. Frame's made from True Temper OX Platinum and was built at Waterford Cycles, WI. Fork was built in Taiwan from good ol' 4310.

    Frame is a medium, full geo attached. It does have a few unique details:

    • Splitter/coupler in the seat stay for belt drive
    • Cable stops for Shimano Alfine hub
    • 135mm rear spacing

    It has a pearl gray paint with sparkle blue panels and fork. Frame was full of frame saver when it arrived and still looks to be in good condition. Would benefit from having the BB shell chased and faced if you want to use an external BB. The ever-reliable UN55 will just slide right in.

    Other details:

    • 1-1/8" head tube (standard headset, included)
    • 27.2mm seatpost
    • 400mm axle to race fork
    • 100mm front spacing
    • 68mm English BB
    • Canti/v-brake bosses front and rear
    • Rear rack mounts
    • Blue panels+fork are all glittery

    Clearance-wise, I ran 40c Marathon Supremes. There was a decent amount of room in the rear, but you probably wouldn't want to go much bigger in the front.

    Inc. mocked up build with ~102/103cm from ground to the top of the saddle and 75cm from the center of the bb to the top of the saddle).

    £270 > £250 > £190 posted (mainland UK). Price is for frame, fork, headset and seatclamp only.

    Would consider selling the wheels if you're local (WI splined-fixed/free on TB14s).

  • Ooh, that's kinda tempting.

  • I'll do you a very good price. Would be a fun summer tracklocross/sscx/??? type thing...

  • In my head I'm building a 650b big tyred, mudguarded fixed commuter, I think I could almost make this work for it but I reckon it's a touch too big for me. Plus if I start building it in real life it costs money which I'm very short of.

  • i posted it on the second polo market facebook page , will keep you posted if someone ask for it.

  • Hey is this frame still available?

  • Still got this?

  • Yep. It's stashed away in the loft at the moment.

  • Bump, now 220 posted.

  • £190 posted.

  • 180 posted. Someone must want a silly summer whatever this is...

  • Is the mock up with 700c wheels?

  • I had one of these about 10 years ago. I ran into passenger door of a new Mercedes, put a nice big dent in the door, wrote off the bike and broke a couple of ribs.

    Got a nice pay out and got a Gangsta to replace it.
