My bike is now sold to Oscar! Glad it has been kept as a polo bike.

Unfortunately I don't think I will be able to do one, unless I come to a tournament sometime. I live in the Cotswolds now and there is no polo here :-( I will probably go to the next Bristol tournament though, although I won't have a bike! Can I borrow yours? I am only a small chap and I promise I won't break it.

I am not sure on the weight of the complete bike as I currently don't have the means to weigh it. What I can say is that I weighed it at a tournament in Manchester once and it came out as average amongst the other bikes there.

Bargain polo bike for sale

Following my retirement from the sport, I am now selling my polo bike which comprises of the following:
On One Pompetamine frame in large. Disc mount on the back.
Gusset Jury SL Street Trials Forks
Middleburn Uno RS7 crank set with 32T chainring
Shimano M545 SPD Pedals
Hope Pro 2 Disc rear hub with 22T and also a 13T sprocket with spacers (2 different length chains with bike)
Avid BB7 front disc with Max Power rotor guard
Paul Duplex lever should a rear brake be added
Race Face seat post
Mavic A319 36h rims
Hope seatpost clamp
Odi lock on grips

This bike has been a very reliable and sturdy bike and has been put together with strength in mind. Cost me over a grand in parts. I will sell for £250. The bike is in Cheltenham but I can post should you cover the costs.

Dibs Max Power guard if you split...
You not playing any more, or summat new in the pipeline?
Moved to the Cotswolds now Chris, so no polo scene. At least a couple of hours round trip to Bristol!

Polo bike for sale. On One Pompetamine (Large), Middleburn Uno cranks. Hope Pro2 disc rear hub with 22 & 14 sprockets, Paul Duplex lever, BB7 front disc with Max Power guard, Mavic A319 rims, Gusset forks, Shimano PD M545 SPD pedals, Raceface seatpost. Due to the high cost of the components, I may just break this and sell in bits. If anyone wants to buy it as a ready built polo bike, I will take £375 for it. That's how much the cranks and rear hub were!!

Due to my extremely unhappy but essential retirement from Bike Polo, I have here for sale my very robust On One Pompetamine (Large). I have been playing for about 5 years and built this bike up a couple of years ago. Many of you on the tourney circuit will know me as Ady from Bristol. Yes, I am a big guy, but don't let that put you off of this bike. I have built it with strength in mind. Pompetamine frame, Gusset Trials forks, Mavic A319 36H 700c's, Hope Pro2 Disc rear hub with 2 sprockets (22 for polo and a 14 for getting to the courts), a very nice Middleburn Uno crank set with a 32T. I have set the bike up with a front BB7 disc with a Paul Duplex lever (you could go dual front/rear if you were a pussy). Max Power front disc guard, super strong chain, raceface seat post, just a well thought out strong fucking bike. Never ever let me down. Cost me a stupid amount to build, but am prepared to sell to someone in the scene for a mere £400. The rear hub and cranks cost me £320! Would make a nice bike for a reasonably tall person. If I don't get a response then I will break the bike for spares, so let me know if you want any bits!

Thank you so much Sheffield for an amazing weekend. Had an amazing time and am now suffering a 'polo come-down'!! There were many highlights of the weekend for me but the main one had to be our game against Spring Break. 3-0 down with 30 secs to go, and we were like "EVERYONE OUT!" Ryan was literally pushing me around in a circle stopping me from going forward (and laughing), knowing we had no answers. Met some really nice people and really look forward to seeing you all at the London Open. I am pissed off that I missed the Saturday night social aspect of the tourney but was too fucked up from only 2hrs sleep in 2 days to participate. Respect to my team mate Andre for his MVP award. That sauce stuff is fuckin mint, but not really suitable for shaking up and spraying over the crowd!!!

Just tried to book Bristol into base camp only to find that they are sold out!!! Luckily spoke to owner of site and there are 10 pitches left on a 1st come 1st serve basis. Get there early if you haven't booked (but obviously not before us!).

Looking forward to seeing some good quality video footage. Judging by the one already made, it is going to make excellent viewing!

I am up for this (Hacked Off - Bristol) so long as the other 2 layabouts are (and of course subject to date). Stick us on the list!

Just trying to plan my weekend. Does anyone know what time things kick off on the Saturday and finish on the Sunday? Will be driving up from Bristol early morning on Sat and camping for the night. Really looking forward to this little tourney and seeing Cliffhanger :-)

Hacked Off Bristol are in on this one :-)

Brake hose, hydraulics :) Doesn't matter how you route them but yeah, would give a much cleaner line if it goes along the downtube. Nice cranks and chainring combo too, fiddy quid just for the chainring IIRC. What hubs are those?

Rear is Hope Pro II (lovely noise!) and front is Hope Pro III Road. Both 36H

No, I am swapping the rear hydraulic brake for a mechanical BB7 for ease of maintanance so left the hose at standard length. It was too long to go the normal route! Have been playing with a rear disc for 3 months with no incident but may try to knock together a disc guard just to be sure!

I have been giving the dual brake idea a little thought and have come up with an idea. I am no engineer, so bare with me on this one! Looking at motorbikes, they often have twin front discs with two calipers, working off of one lever. What about copying this setup, running a larger master cylinder on one lever and having two brake hoses - one to the front caliper and one to the rear caliper. It works on a motorbike, so why not on a bicycle? I am not an expert on hydraulics, but surely one master cylinder squeezing fluid down two lines to two identical calipers would give equal braking front and rear?
