Jonny, do you still have that pipe-cutter for chopping down handlebars?

Nice one, that sounds much easier. I have fixed/fixed, so all I'll need is a 22T rear and a longer chain.

I am bloody terrified of you on the polo court. Maybe I should just smash my bike to pieces with a hammer now and save both our time?

Damnit, I just wanted a simple swap. Why did they have to dish the crank?

Sneaky bastards - is there a hack?

I've just signed up for the polo comp in August, but I'm still running 48:16. Does anyone know what the chainring mounting size of the bendy-bendy RPM cranks on the Fuji Track is?

I'm thinking 38T Surly chainring = £29 = simple polo-ification.

No problem getting it free - it's not locked. So, I just take it to a bike shop to report it? Do they phone the police, then?

Is there a way to report it to the police? If they can't find the owner (unlikely they're even looking for a 20 year old ladies Peugeot) then you can have it after a certain number of months?

A light tan.

Saw it today for the first time, don't normally go that way though. It's just sitting in the middle of the pavement.

There's a bike outside my office, a step-through girls Peugeot; no front wheel, brakes hanging off, no lock - is it fair game?

What do you lot think?

Would be good for the missus after a spray and with my old front wheel.

I still have the parts for a back wheel, so I'd be interested in maybe a refresher/build-another class of some sort. I've already laced it up, but I need to tension and true it.

Don't watch the tournament, play! If only there were other people looking to make a team up...

I went to a wheel-building class organised by some guys on this forum last night - got shown how to build a wheel up for £20. Bargain.

Kat, I meant to grab your email address last night - wanted to steal your thesis topic for a feature.

I know how you feel - wheel building past 12 last night and was at work at 7am this morning. I'm not a morning person at the best of times...

That all runs on an Arduino board - I bought one the other day, not sure what to do with it yet. I doubt I'll be making one of these, though.

Thanks to Matt and DB, was great to learn how to build up a wheel from scratch. I rode my front to work this morning - one little "ting" when I pumped up the tire but no major problems, very chuffed.

Hmm, it does look good, but I've got my 3X spokes now. Will think about it for the next ones I build with my new-found skills...

Is this real? I've stuck a bid on, but not sure why it's so cheap.

How strong is radial, compared to three-cross? It looks great, but is there a down-side?

I meant to ask last night - is there anyone who would be up for forming a polo team and entering the comp with me? I'm not a good player, but it'll be good fun to enter. Don't all rush at once, form an orderly queue...

What's the address of Wheel-Building School? I'll get my mum to drop me off in her big 4x4 with a packed lunch.
