it can be better, thanks anyway!

ummm. I don't have the tools necessary to remove the bottom bracket in my place...

I heard something about this in Spain. I can try and see if it works. How should I do this? pour the coke down until fill the seat tube and then wait 3 hours?

I was told if you can pour coke down the seat tube it'll dissolve all the rust so you can free the post. Seems a bit of a waste - take it yourself and manhandle the post out, then go and ramble shite at someone for three hours.

Chris - thanks :-)

I don't understand nothing on this post! hehe

but a little bit of oil maybe can be a solution. If it doesn't work, less go with the hummer or any other solution

Yes it is to big I think!

Opinions? i think it looks the right size for Victor, it says 23" but doesn't look that big in the photo... what you reckon 26" or 700's?

It is 700....

I have bought this one. Maybe I didn't do the right decision, but will see!
It has horizontal dropouts and it is already a single speed with single speed well an front gear, so don't need extra work. It is already prepare to play. Also the breaks are in a good state.

Just need to press a little bit the back wheel axis, maybe press or change the bottom bracket (but not strongly necesary) and the more important thing, un-stuck the seat spot to download it a bit... maybe this is the biggest risk I have take with this bike, but I hope you can help me with this!

What is an orange p7? about what bike are you refering?
sorry but all this vocabulary is new for me ;-)

which jump bike?
you will have to make sure it has a long seatpost

This is the jump one.

I could go there if it is the best choice.

not sure about the size of the seatpost

For 15£ more and the train ticket to Chester (around 10£) can be better the jump bike I think. Do you agree?

I have meet up with this guy on Friday in Fallowfield Sailsbury at 12am.

Let see if it can works. If anyone is free and want to come to see it is welcome!

Also thinking in the Chester one... I asked him to send me more photos to ensure more if it can be fine or not before going there. I haven't got a response yet.

It'll weigh a tonne and you'd want to get new forks and convert to singlespeed. I reckon the other one is more suitable if it ain't too big.

ok :)

Yeah, but it's a jump bike so slack head and seat tube angle. If you try a quick go on mine and then a quick go on Robs bike you can see how this really impacts on handling.

It looks more 26" to me but a quick mail would answer the question.

He has answered me. It is 26" and still available

What about the other one?

Can it be fixed easy? it is cheaper and don't need to go to Chester...

24" wheels is not a good one?

Yeah, that sounds like the same measurement, for polo you want a bike thats a bit smaller than the size you normally ride, it looks from the photo that its the right sort of size...

so maybe I should see it, try and compare with the rest of bikes I used yesterday to see if it fit to me.

If I'm right rob works in a bikes shop? Maybe I can go there and see if they can un-stuck the seat post.

if don't, do you know any other place or anybody who can help me?

what about the price? do you think is alright?

I've put in contact with him. He said me that he is 1'88 meter size, but maybe the bike is a little bit small for him.

Also he said "My inside leg measurement is 32inches/80cm"

I'm not sure what does it mean.

But my measurement from the groin to the floor is 85 cm more or less... is it the same measurement?

I didn't realize that the seatpost seems to be stuck... Thanks anyway

Hi there,

I'm Victor.

I've seen this advert in gumtree.

http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/single-speed-mens-mountain-bike-to-suit-tall-rider-60/97800732

Do you think it can be a good one to play bike polo for me? My height is 1'83 meters.

Thanks!

Hi there,

Sunday games were really cool! Thanks for the bikes and mallets!

I'll come around today to the court to watch you training with a beer, and if you need one person else to play I'll be ready!

Also I might be interested in going to Newcastle v Glasgow v Edinburgh tournament if there are enough people to do a team and the trip is not very expensive.

I'm in. will be someone there at 12.30?

is it going to be training polo today despite it is raining?

Thanks for the information. I will try to be there this evening. But on sunday sure I'll be there. At what time is it?

I would like to join bike to bike polo games but I don't have a bike yet. Is it possible? I want to learn how to play first also. Where is the court where you meet? is it in moss side powerhouse? I would like to come around any day
