i posted up in the polo visitor thread since that's where i usually spend my time here, but i'm touring from canada with my wife this july including the grand depart and if anyone has a place we could stay in london the 1-3, and in yorkshire july 4-5 it would be ace. (pm if you may)

You should be impressed I even recall what you are talking about! Alas, I only have issue 2, featuring the inventor of Bike polo aka The Ambassador. I will ask some friends who may have the elusive issue 1 though

hi LFGSS polo. i just got married and am turning 30 in july, and as a result my new wife and i have planned a trip to return to leeds for the grand depart and a bike tour in france. we are coming in and out of london and would love to hang out with old polo friends even without the right bikes, and if anyone could offer a place to stay july 1 (hoser holiday), 2, 3 and 27 it would be awesome!

please send me a pm if you'd consider splitting the frameset + posting

i'm riding schwalbe durano 26x1.35 (35) now, which may be a bit slippy, but i'm surprised no one's mentioned the marathon plus as a good choice. 26x1.35 a bit heavy, a bit pricey, but great compound, super puncture proof, and last forever. i had a pair on my polo bike for 3.5 years and probably 10,000km and only replaced them because i wanted lighter. i'd only just reached the blue strip and probably could have run them another year

as far as i know it's all black and gray spirally shit. the shifter housing is dark gray.

Yeah its called yokozuna cables nik thinks its the best thing ever to happen

yokozuna is the best housing out there. not that pricey either, just a bit more than shimano

Is there a 26" equivalent to the Dolan Pre Cursa or Pompino? Something cheap and polo-suitable rather than polo-specific if that makes sense...

i ran a scrambler frame with a 26" long haul trucker fork with 26x1.5 tires for a while. geo worked out pretty good. you could probably find a better fork.

Sweet thanks Jon!

Also mosquitos are they gonna be a problem? Peeps picking up particular sprays?

spray's not gonna help....

Big UK air bnb?

polo mansion

if anyone needs a ringer for the wildcard, send me a pm.

wish I could be there for this gents. I will be at the ToCali May 17-19 though, if anyone happens to be going and wants to get a ride in

Can anyone think of anywhere within spitting distance of kings cross (or en route back to stoke Newington) where I can pick up some decent beans? Am running dangerously low and my usual vendors of Monmouth or nude espresso are a bit beyond a 40 ish minute lunch break dash. Is caravan on exmouth market any good?

there's square mile at tina we salute you or fazenda at cafe oto both nearish dalston/kingsland

We have set a good precedent (#IMO) to only allow bars with less than 20º of sweep

joke or no?

where i live, vertical surface 'leaning' has always been ok, whether that vertical surface is a wall, chain link, or goal post. dabbing is supporting yourself on a horizontal surface, whether it's the floor, a link in the fence, or the crossbar. therefore, a flat palm on a fence is fine, but once you stick your fingers in it, you're using the horizontal part for support. same applies to crossbars, or in europe, the tops of goal posts

What are people's opinions on the Paul Motolite V brakes for polo use? Are they really as good as it gets when it comes to v brake technology? Or would i be better off buying some less pretty but just as efficient cheaper brakes?

I'm getting that bike I think, minus the forks.
annoyed by the 135mm rear spacing though. Means I need to build a new rear wheel. However correct me if I'm wrong but since I'll get a MTB hub surely I can put two sprockets so I can run a polo gear and a commuting gear? chainline issues?

i have 2 rear sprockets and 2 chainrings so the chainline is matched on either and the rear axle doesn't move much. i think it's 39/18 and 36/21. you could probably do better, those were just the chainrings i had on hand.

joel from sf and i need a third for east van crown sept. 17-18. anyone here?

gorgeous shirts, well done with the supplier/design/details

i'm using a cage like that on a hockey helmet. other guys around here are doing that too. they are base/soft/fastball cages and protect from most things that would be near your face. visibility is superior to a hockey cage

does anyone know what model the batman-looking sidi's are from a few years back? they aren't in the current lineup but they are very sleek looking, matte black suede-type material, minimal graphics etc...

thanks vidal. is BAD no more?

andy no sympathy here on your flights to the euros- it's costing me $550 just to get to my regional qualifier.
