Agreed. But I think the point of no advertising is to stop the cops from clamping down on it. Must be a better way?

You didn't miss much, not much of a turnout.

I'll be there.

I also needed new mallet but got old golf club from junk shop for £2.50. Makes my old mallet feel like a broom handle. Does Tristan need ski pole?

i know this isen't specifically polo related, but do any of you know where i could get ahold of a nice cheap tool roll thing? ive realised my life would be a lot easier if i had one!

How cheap? I got a heavy-duty canvas type one (not waterproof or fancy in any way, but it's for in my garage, not for carrying on the bike) from my local pound shop for......

Reclaim the streets, an' all that!

Yeah, I had an email from Dorothy about this. I'm gonna try to make it into town for it.

Cheers, Matt
It's not about rake though, as long as you've got enough trail.
Check out this guy's experiments with zero-rake motorcycle chassis design. He's a proper genius and I could only hope to understand half of what he's on about. The pics speak for themselves though.

I think the bike is worth persevering with, as you say, cos I haven't altered the steering angle, only the wheelbase. I'm just not yet good enough to take advantage of its potential.

Tongue firmly in cheek

"Are you pissed, John?" was Matt's comment as I crashed inexplicably for about the sixth (or was it more like tenth?)time at polo tonight. Twitchy steering, short wheelbase frame is gonna take a bit of gettin' used to, I think!! Still, it shows promise for it's first time out and I suppose that's the trade-off for that level of maneuverability. I think maybe I'm not as good as the bike, more practice required. Can't really blame the bike for the spectacular superman endo over the handlebars, that was just me being a spaz. At least it wasn't in front of a huge crowd at the National Championships tho, just a few teenagers playing footy.

I reckon it would be a good opportunity to showcase yer band if you played a couple of numbers at Round #3??? Or are there licensing issues? Live band=more punters ;)

Job done...

Looks like Tristan's keeping the fixed gear tricking scene alive in Newcastle ;)

And this thread!

Looking for 700c wheels for my brother's 531 framed racer, 5/6 speed, alloy rims, that kind of thing. Anybody got stuff left over from a conversion just kicking about? Cash waiting, but not much ;)

Love that disc conversion. Been designing something similar myself - watch this space. Not sure about the 20" wheels tho'.

Cheers Phil. I'm hoping it hasn't been a huge waste of time. I've got new one-piece crank and a tiny 28t 1/8" BMX chainring to go on it but that's useless until the 17t bolt-on cog arrives from Velo. If it doesn't come in time, I'll just use the old gearing for this week. Your new roadbike is looking proper tasty, by the way.

Been busy this weekend...
#2 polo bike frame - 2" shortened chainstays, shortened and lower-angled seatstays, BMX dropouts, 4" shortened seat-tube, new lower toptube, shorter wheelbase, hardcore(t).
Should have it finished in time for polo on Wednesday as long as parts arrive from Velosolo in time. Can't wait to try it out.

Hahahah!
Even better

Hey Tristan, why not put a reminder on your phone - 6pm, Wednesdays, every Wednesday! Hope to see you there next week. ;)

Excellently put, Matt

Bang tidy, Andy.
Low cost to high fun ratio is where it's at

More sell, sell, sell, Phil!!?
Sounds like you've got a new project in mind, or a serious habit to finance ;)

Got 16t track cog if that's any use to you

I'll start the (polo) ball rolling with, "anyone up for polo Sunday?"
Did everyone fix their bikes yet?

Sounds good but I'm taking the kids for a rideout today to the coast, a bit further up, at Blyth.
