size M pompino in brown
blue charge forks
purple velocity deep v front wheel
silver milwaukee polo guard
silver DMR swarm stem
black Rolls saddle
black oury's
loads of rubbish stickers

picture is here, but it's grainy. should be easy to spot though, it stands out.

i'm going to call police now and then go round london fields, anyone got any other suggestions? i'm proper gutted. polo dream is over for the foreseeable future

You should post this in the Polo forum too. I'm still so angry, f-ing bike thieving c****s

Yay, 3 people in total now!

Is anyone actually doing this?

Starts in about 10days

So far you're the only one registered to the team...

That bike just got sold to some gormless hipster for £150

Makes me upset that people are that stupid/selfish and it pisses me off that police doesn't do anything about it, those dodgy guys have been selling bikes at that spot for a while now.

Might of given you evil eyes because you are stood taking pictures of him and his bike?

The guy in the picture was not the one giving me the evil eye. These guys are selling bikes at London fields every weekend, I do not think that they are 'honest bikes' or 'honest people', doesn't take many brain cells to figure that one out

Im at london fields. Theres a pink/chrome raleigh here with a white rolls style saddle with white chopped and flopped bullhorns and white deep section wheels with pink tyres. Fixed. Probably stolen.

You beat me to it, here's a pic of it. The guy gave me evil eyes after taking a picture of it, so I reckon stolen!

Sorry, can't manage to get the picture up, I'm obviously technically challenged!

Ok, so I've registered myself and a team under the name LPC.

To register go to: http://cyclechallenge.tfl.gov.uk/user/register
and I think you can just do a search for LPC and join...

So if I register us as London Bike Polo is that cool? Or would you prefer a different name?

Any suggestions for the team name and I'll register it?

I know there is a team going in the genral section, but I thought perhaps the Polo lot + friends/wags/supporters might want to create their own team and if we would win any of the prices the money could be donated towards the London Open? Would anyone be interested?

To register for the London Polo Team go to:
https://cyclechallenge.tfl.gov.uk/user/register

"The Cycle Challenge is a competition to see which team can cycle the most miles in a month. Teams that come top win great prizes. It’s free to enter and is a great reason to hop on your bike. If you’re already a cyclist already, why not encourage your colleagues, friends or family to join you and give cycling a try this summer."

It's based on trust that you log your miles honestly, so do!

Wait til you try Nutella and banana sarnies.

Peanut butter, nutella and bananas FTW

apartment booked. Its pretty far away, but its cheap and its massive. There is spare beds if anyone hasnt booked yet. Thanks Therese for all the info, but i could only get a 4 bed in your place :(

Oh no, bo-hooo! I was looking forward to see how big of a splash we could all make in the pool!

Hiya, you still looking for a small frame Italian steelie?

Yes!

do you know what chris gee, if I wasn't saving money for my masters, I would have had it. It's hard to find nice bike that fits little people... again I must say this, according to many male friends of mine, being a woman and 168cm is short... what more can I say?

So have another bump

Being short and looking for a bike sucks, I'm only 164cm which makes it super hard finding a lovely rode bike, or maybe I'm just being too picky... This bike is lovely and does deserve a lovely owner! If only I was a bit taller.... sigh

potential dibs - PM sent

Red Condor, Tweed Run spoke card, and Dura-Ace hubs (really should get some of those for my Panasonic). Nice chatting to you.

No one really says hi on my commute, so it was nice to chat to someone! (maybe I look too scary - ha!)

A huge thank you to all those involved with the organising, but a special thanks to all the Marshals for your sterling job! Amazing day all in all!

I'm keeping fingers and toes crossed that you will get this venue for the first weekend in June - it would make me the happiest polo wag ever!

Too upsetting for words. My thoughts with the cyclist - I pray she pulls through and make a speedy recovery!

I can vouch for this lovely lady, she's super friendly and will give you an awesome hair cut! She cut my hair about a week ago and I love it!

Just thought I'd say that in case anyone would be doubting her skills :-)

Provisonal dibs on the ladies bike for my friend. I'll send you a PM.

saying that... you were really nice till i got to know you, then i heckled everytime i hit the court.

But Ray, that's only cos I like you the most + you respond so well to it! ;-)

I think the London (and European) Polo crowd is awesome and very friendly! And they are far from any of the nasty things they've been called in this thread.
Like with anything and anywhere in this world, you got to work to make friends, at school, at work. The guys are out to play polo, like they've said in this thread, they don't know you're there and curious unless you tell them. Some of them do have some awesome bike skills - but they're not mind readers! Give them a second chance, say hi and tell them you're curious, ask them questions, ask if you can have a go. You will most likely be allowed to borrow a bike and a mallet, you might have fun and if you make an effort, you'll make some amazing new friends - not only in London but accross the world!

I don't even play polo and have made some amazing friends, yes given that my guy plays helps, but I had to work at it in the beginning and make an effort. I'm so happy to have become part of their community and to be able to travel around to tourneys and have friends all over the world through it. All that because I put a bit of an effort in and said: hi!

Looking for a lovely small sized (49-50 cm) vintage road bike in good condition, 80's 90's but could be older - dependant on make, condition, paint job.
