London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

Couple of games of polo followed by a beverage of your choice at the local.
We have enough mallets for y'all.

I'm there

i'm there

I'm interested but do you know what numbers we're looking at? It seems as though it'd be a bit of a waste if we couldn't pull together a nice amount of people.

Therell be people toby, not like christmas!

Amy shall be coming over from leamington spa with all her mallets. All of fins mates from locality (selly oak) will probably show.

All you have to do is get there.

I'll be there

Just realised that sunday may well be sub zero.

Its unlikely they grit neglected basketball courts so perhaps its best that a couple of us go grit it in the morning?

Find one of those yellow bins and bag a few scoops, then pour it on the court?

... and clean yer bikes up proper afterwards! That salty stuff eats bikes.

I'd be there if I wasn't going to see this:

I'll be there!

I'm up for it

gonna be a bit late tomorrow. Can you give me your number sham?

Sorry couldn't make it, my attempts to get there were thwarted by the gods of fate (in the form of network rail replacement bus services who refused to transport my bike!). So now stuck in London until tomorrow, when bike-carrying capacity trains are resumed.

Please let me know when you are playing next - am uber keen to put into practice my mallet-handling skills!

I was gonna come and take photos but didn't get a text back from Shamim - there was no way I was gonna ride to Selly Oak without knowing that people were definitely gonna be there (no internet at home to check this site either)

When is the next event Sir Allah?

(re)Building the mallets this weekend to a higher standard. While I will miss shards of piping flying through the air it will make the games last longer.

If people want a knock around I'm up for it most evenings (depending if the flood lights work) or on weekends. Need to get some practice in if we're going to take on london, manchester and oxford crews.

Im recovered now, so up for coming over whenever - Tommorow?

For a roll & whack.

Fin dont listen to DFP ^^^ hes a wasteman.
Dude doesnt even answer my questions.

Can you PM me you number fin?
Hope all is well with your blog too...

Why don't we just start doing it every other week on a certain set day?
We get some regularity in then it should be fineee.

+1

Fin, email me via fixup site when the next event is confirmed so I can post details

Last minute mallet mash up.
What time is best for everyone - 2pm provisional?
Weather permitting.

^^Yes^^

I must have posted on the other polo thread that you started. I suggested adding a friendly night time polo game as a finale to the track punks event. What say ye?

Sounds good to me, jumpers for goal posts!

I'll drop by.
I have no bike though, so i'll cheer from the sidelines.

So... 2pm yeh?

This is going to be a regular thing.
Start off with once a month, fixed time and fixed place.
If anyone wants to organise another one in between feel free.

Those pictures are BAD! (the good kind of bad)

My legs are SO skinny.

Bike polo is AWESOME!!!

Would it be ok to put some of those pics on the blog?

Thats got to be the most unflattering pic of nancy ever,

Still awesome pics & awesome fun though.

My knuckle is very swollen JESUS CHRIST WHY AM I AWAKE AT 1AM I HAVE TO BE AT WORK IN THE MORNING but it should be Ok, I don't understand why it kept popping when I swng the mallet though

Fin lemme know what kind of pipe you need for the mallets and I'll see if anyone I know knows where it can be obtained... I'll keep an eye out for that shit too

Anything non pvc/shatterable. High pressure waste piping I think.
I'll have a look too.
Re: Track Punx, prob wont be able to make any new/repair mallets, so just use the ones we got.

They seemed to be in decent condition at the end apart from a few chipped ends...

polo is now my favourite game ever fo sho

The same thing seems to be happening for everyone, theyre not that bothered about it until they play it, and then they're converted. Its time for fin to start www.birminghambikepolo.com

Igor's polo photos seem to have a common theme of me falling over

Got this PM :

Hi,

I was going to post something in your thread but I'm not allowed, maybe it's cos I'm a Londoner?? Anyway I'm from Brum originally and coming back this weekend to see the folks after playing in the Oxford Polo tourney, I just wondered if you play on Sundays anywhere as we were up for trying bit of polo up there, esp seeing as we'll have our polo bikes and all.

I just randomly got your names cos you posted in the polo events thread, there'll be 2 of us coming so let us know if you're up for it...

Ali

Needless to say, I wanna play some more polo.

me too. if something does happen this sunday can it continue into the evening as i'm going to be busy til 6 or so.

Ok might be able to organise something, will keep everyone posted.
If you're interested say so now.

I'd love to but can't afford it at all.
More importantly, who'd be up for playing some polo on the twenty second or twenty third - it's a saturday. Get a nice day of it in from after lunch till the sun goes down.

I can play this sunday, off to spain on the 12th though.

anyone up for a regular night now the evenings are getting longer? of course it needs a minimum of four people to show up each time, but i reckon we can do it. hyperallah?

i vote monday by the way..

also, i may be able to get some pipe from my old man. maybe that blue stuff that seems a little less brittle.

I vote any day other than thursdays,fridays or saturdays

I bought 4 ski pole from t' bay and am building proper mallets up with ABS (non-brittle) piping - though could always do with more.
There's one with your name on it dan, not literally, that would be plain weird.

+1 for a regular polo night, any day is fine by me.

I'm in the process of moving back to Brum at the moment, and would be interested in having a go. Any day is good for me too, as long as there are still enough mallets. Complete n00b, mind.. Be nice to meet a few people too.
