you are a mean individual for inflicting that bike on someone else! ;)

You are the reason I need the space!

Well - not actually YOU, but you know what I mean.

Interested in the fork. is it threaded and how much? I need to check my existing one...
not a player yet, but building a polo bike so I can play. the shite frame I have has massive rake, which is apparently a bad thing...

It's a 1 1/8" fork, not threaded. I do have a threaded fork but it won't help you with your rake problem.

Start playing and tweak the bike as you go - you can't build a 'perfect' polo bike without playing!

Brutality. Heal soon!

I need the space behind the kitchen door back so does anyone want [for free] most of an old polo bike to start playing on:

mid 90s MTB frame (strong but heavy, suitable for someone about 6ft)
FSA headset
700c fork
2 x 26" rear wheels (both pretty wrecked from polo but they still have *some *life)
26" front wheel (not so wrecked)
Assorted 26" tyres

Obviously you can go freewheel and use a v-brake. Apparently this is the future.

I'm not trying to implicate you or compare Swrve to Nike and I'm fully aware and educated about Nike.

I'm just trying to say that people will do this and there are reasons people will do this.

If you are sponsored then you have endorsed an environment where some people have more than others. Surely then you have to accept that the others will strive to achieve the same in whatever way possible. Sponsorship becomes an aspiration and suddenly free shoes and shirts become appealling regardless of who is supplying them. Even if they wanted to, Swrve cannot sponsor everyone.*

Obviously this is simplified terribly but so is comparing a Nike advertorial to the holocaust.

*Disclaimer - I am not anti-sponsorship. I don't wear Nike. I am decidedly vainglorious and would quite like to be in a magazine shoot though.

Also i'm putting up a list for another batch of BLACK Rosies.
BLACK exteriors...choose your liner colour from the following...RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, CERISE, SILVER, BLUE.
Add your name and liner colour to the list.
Cheers!

Does photography work in the same sort of way as acting/music? If you act in an advert you used to get royalties per showing but now they will just pay you a flat fee and buy you out of it. A record label will buy the artists recordings and split royalties. So if a magazine approaches you and says they want you to do a shoot, do they give you a flat fee straight away? Do you produce the pictures and then they 'might' buy them if they like them? Do they give you a budget? Do you retain ownership?

It doesn't affect my feelings about this, I'm just interested.

I have a 34 on mine.

I'm your man…

Your body is a wonderland.

He never really checks the forum, he just happened to see it on a whim and came down.

Let's do it on Sunday again then.

Today was good fun. West Polo Returns.

Pip can't make it. I let Wayne know though. He's probably out doing real riding stuff.

I still haven't seen your Surly. I'm excited.

Stu, I have a spare if you need one. I'll bring two down. 12 works for me.

Yes stu!

I'd play today if anyone is around. Don't care how many.

James from SM letting Aram from STO get to him...

Everything got to me today.

I can't remember who I told i'd give ABS pipe to...

You said you'd sort me out with a couple of heads worth. Won't be around tomorrow though. Head should be 5.5" total length. Not sure which caps they are but the ones Mat ordered recently. We need to sort out Malice v Sparkle at some point so just hang on to it until then I guess. Cheers.

like 11 ?

What time are people getting to Newington tomorrow? First game on the calendar is 12 but anyone up for throw-ins earlier?

Scissor will get delayed until April anyway at this rate...

What fork did you use for polo? Handsome Dogs? I want to switch over but I can't find a fork that improves the front end over the Fuji.
