  @glowbike : thanks for the explanations, that's very helpful for understanding what makes a good frame. No I won't order a Marino, we have some good framebuilders here in Belgium.

  @O'shane your geo looks nice ! both in terms of measurement and in graphic design

  Here are the one we're working on.
  The yellow one was the first one made by the great Marvin, which is a very nice project, the black one is an adaptation made by Vincent from Brussels, with a shorter wheelbase (I'm afraid this one has a lack of clearance ??).
  And when I read the post on the Cosmic blog, I was wondering if we maybe can make some improvements following their geometries.
  Actually, I'm a bit lost in term of wheelbase and clearence, afraid to build a frame with toe overlap, or too hard to ride.

  By the way, 14bike usually post their frames geometries on their blog, and they don't seem to put copyright logo everywhere on their webpage. For me their 'savoir faire' is somewhere else, not a problem and the idea is not to make a copy paste. http://www.14bikeco.com/frames-forks/14-polo-bike-v-3.html

  Anyway, thanks for you answers.

  ha ha, ok thanks for your point of view.
  If sharing geo and asking some advices is seen as stealing, that's a point of view.
  We're not in that business here in Brussels, just a small community of 15 players sharing informations between each others, no sponsors etc..
  We approach frame building in a more open source way, like cooking recipes we share with other people, i believe that tools like bikecad or github are good places to post bike geometries.
  Things are going fast in the polo universe, the question is more in what kind of world you want to play.

  Hi London, Constant from Brussels bike polo
  We're trying to build some frames from here with a frame builder who looks professional and not too expensive.
  We worked on a geometry with the help of Marvin from US, I think that will be close to the last one Todd and Mat have designed. I really like the explanations on the posts they made on their blog.
  I saw some geometry on the 14bike website but it looks like being the old version.
  Is there a place where we can find this geo ? On Bikecad or somewhere else ?
  Thank you, it could be great help for us !

  Hey hey hey London,
  Here in Brussels, we're looking for a way to buy a stock of balls (franklin ??) with our logo printed on. Does anybody have a contact for this ?
  I read in you earlier posts someone talking about a manufacturer in Thailland ??
  Thanks for your help..
