So here she is - my first Polo bike, finished yesterday... :)

£20 for the hub [zenith fixed flip-flop] | £20 for rear wheel build | 0 for spokes and rim | 23 for sprocket [Surley 21t] & chuck in another 4 for postage...
30 for the frame - I had the pedals, but they were around 15 | bar tape 13 | brake lever 15 | brake 30 | tubes 5 | top tube pad 13 | chain 5 | had the tyres, but would prob be 30ish so...
So 1x polo bike = £218 or £178 without pedals, tyres - more than I guesstimated [£150]
Still - I'm pretty happy, I could do with new [155mm & smaller BCD] cranks and chainring - It's running 44-21 at the mo.. but I'll see how she handles and save my wallet till next month at least.
