Sorry, can't make it tonight.

Awesome polo today - long-overdue fast and competitive games. Apologies for haranguing people (especially Monty).

Matt/Mya, come back soon, yeah? And bring my fiver.

Remember the clocks go forward at midnight, so I want everyone wrapped up warm in bed so we can start promptly.

Megarange is its own kind of stupidity. If you use a 34t sprocket, then surely you'd use a 32 and a 30. Why have a massive jump?

Anyway, gearing thread>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Sunday 31st, Highgate, 10am

Fixies stopped being cool.

Polo stayed the same.

You could, but you'd have to pay me £30 for it, so it wouldn't be very cost effective...

Also:

**Rear Wheel: **Surly 135mm fixed/free silver hub, 36h, handbuilt by my Fairy-soft hands in crow's foot patterning for extra coolness, Mavic A119 rim, best for 28-50c tyres. The bearings are smoothish (but not buttery) with no play, and the rim has about 1mm left before the wear-line disappears. £30

If we get a thaw...

I'll take the bars then dan. When can we hook up?

PM'd

On your bike over Easter if that's OK, I'll pop in Friday morning. Cheers.

Cool - we're open 10-5pm.

Is there a hashtag?

Go Steelers Wheel - Kings of the North!

Bars are 49cm, 1" rise.

Si - I'm not at work until Good Friday. Wanna collect from mine? Or OYB over Easter?

**26" Front Wheel: **Mavic 719/Guess cartridge bearing, DT spokes. Rim is quite worn, so best for disc use. New bearings in hub and spokes are brand new. Handbuilt by me which surely adds ££££££££££... £30

**26" Rigid Forks: *Onza Tuff Guy, no paint. Heavy and strong. 400m a-c, 1 1/8". £15

**700 x 35 Tyre: **Schwalbe Marathon (the older kind with the kevlar guard). Hardly used. £7

**Cable Lock: **Abus, c50cm long. £5

**Road Pedals: **Shimano 105 SPD-SL, black, newest kind. Used for maybe 500 miles so low wear, but a few scratches because pedals always get scratched (including cleats). £20

**Road Shoes: **Bontrager Race, size 46, very good condition, black - £30

**10 speed chain: **SRAM 1031, I was using it on a compact with 11-34 cassette, so it's long. 500 miles max. £5

**10 speed cassette: *HG62 (Deore) 11-34. 500 miles max - hardly any signs of use/wear - £15

**9/10 Speed Rear Mech: **Deore 9-speed, which means it works with road STI 10-speed, which is how I was using it. Black. £15

**Eccentric Rear Hub: **White Industries ENO, 130mm, black, fixed/free, 32h. Buttery smooth bearings. Signs of having been built, but very good condition. £80

**Riser Bar: **31.8 Race Face, which has been cut down to fixie-width. Black. £5

**Road tyres: **Continental Grand Prix 24c, folding, black chilli compound. Front is hardly worn, but does have a cut in the sidewall from which the tube bulges out like a little blister (c10mm long) you could repair it with a tyre patch... **£5. **Rear is squared off, but no significant cuts **£5. **A good opportunity to try out 'premium tyres' and decide if the improvement in ride quality is worth it before you spunk a day's wages on a new pair?

Prices based on collection. PM for more details/pictures if you're *seriously *interested in buying and want specific information about the condition of the item. If you're mildly curious about sizing/compatibility/details etc, then use a popular search engine for Christ's sake.

These will be going on ebay Thursday 28th.

No dibs; cash arriving in my hand confers transfer of ownership from seller** to buyer***.

Whatever magic ratio of ale, white wine and rum I had last night didn't erode my memory, but now you've got enough, I'm probably going to stay in.

I'll grab some next time I'm in the loft.

I know nothing of this Big Cartel thing - I think Matt has all the info.

Can't tell if you're joking, but if you're not, I'll bring them on Friday.

Also (not joking) we received an email enquiry about hosting stag-do groups at polo sessions. Check it out. If someone wanted to run with it, we/they could potentially charge and it'd be a nice little earner for someone or for BHBPA. Having said that, I'm not interested. At all.

By way of an update, in case anyone wants any of it and to placate anyone who thinks I'm being unduly whiny about storage, I have the following BHBPA stuff at mine:

Cones x 4
c50 Le Coq Musettes
c1000 zip ties
a couple of t-shirts (xxxxxs or womens or both or something)
aluminium goal bases
c4 planks of board (enough to plug the gaps at highgate)
our new Lucas-Goals

I'm going to be clearing out my shed this Friday* so if anyone has space for them and wants to keep them whole, let me know ASAP and I'll bring them round. Otherwise I'll chop 'em up into three pieces and stick them in my loft.

If anyone has a specific desire for how/where they should be chopped, can they let me know.

*follow #shedclear2013 for updates

I'll come out if I'm the difference between 5 and 6 players, but probably not if you've already got 6.

Witty repartee fail.

Looking dry and cloudy now.

I paid £30.94 (obviously added up wrong) 20th Feb - I'll get Hyper to collect at Manchester. Thanks again!

I'm working 30th - the most I'm going to be able to do for the polo demo is maybe one hour around lunchtime.

Busy all day but I'll check here at 6.30ish. If there's 5 then I'll come out and make it 6.

I'm off 28th, working 29th/30th so factor that in if you need me to collect/drop off.

We'll need wood to prop them up with too, right?

Nope - London to see some friends. Hyper and I are going to Manchester this Sunday for team games. Rich is subbing for Andy.

We did. Vicky was there from 10. LJ and I came at 10.30. Chris around 11. 2v2 in the sleet/snow.

If Hyper had come he could have explained the difference between hail/sleet/snow/freezing rain...

I won't be at polo until Flatpack/31st, I reckon.
