If you want the saddle further back over the wheel you need to change the angle of the seat tube.
A curve seat post allows the seat tube to do this whilst hitting the BB.
The other way is like the new ESB proto where the seat tube remains straight but hit the down tube above the BB not at it. -
It's more about positioning. Flat bars make it easier to fit shifters. Other than that I'm not so sure.
I'm still working on my positioning. I've raised saddle and want a slightly lower bar set up to get me into a more aggressive position.
Build something to suit your style I say. Not cause it looks right or everyone else has same set-up. -
Yeah dyna-tech stylee
-
Interested in stem. Pm'd
-
swoon!

Happy Birthday Dr V! x
-
I can play 2/3pm til 5pm.
-
Anyone playing at Downs today?
-
Great weekend.
Was so nice so play polo in the sun and see the LPC typically on form.
I'm disappointed Cosmic didn't go further but sometimes the luck of the draw is a tough one.
We were really happy with how we played but unfortunately it wasn't enough. We came up against some physical play which we didn't perhaps deal with so well and suffered for it. Any other day and we would have won those games but whatever that's how it goes. We know what we need to do...I've come away from Barca still feeling positive about London quality and feel we can get back up to the top quickly.

Sat digesting breakfast in my tribal leggings. Will get dressed soon and ride to work. Have teaching afterwork too so wont be home til around 9:20.
-
Loved that Bill. Made my afternoon :)
-
That's hilarious!
-
Ah, get ya...
I wanna see some of these alterations...
Cut and shut. -
well for a start he should have bought a really nice frame and cut it in half, getting something custom made is just crazy
Why is this crazy?
This will be my 4th frame since I began playing and I think I can justify something catered to my needs. And for the price it would've cost me for a decent trick frame.
(esb, gangsta, etc)The frame isn't really a 14 V3 as I specifically took the geo of the V2 and made some changes. I wanted something more burly and more like how the esb feels.
Sloping TT + straight fork at 71 degrees. 73mm BB and 135mm rear spacing.
It's for 26" wheels and has options for rear V or Disc. (Disc in autumn/winter)
Wheelbase is super short and I'll be riding right over the back wheel.My FBM Sword is awesome and it was hard to make such a change.
But rear clearance wasn't good.
When you're playing hard and dependent on your bike you can't have a buckled wheel shutting you down. That happened on several occasions.This frame is what I need right now. Building it up this week.
My other option was getting a tiny steel mtb and shortening the front end. Would be rad if you can do it...

Not good! How and from where was this stolen? Will keep an eye out.
my polo bike got lifted from wilton way, e8 last night. specs are:
size M pompino in brown
blue charge forks
purple velocity deep v front wheel
silver milwaukee polo guard
silver DMR swarm stem
black Rolls saddle
black oury's
loads of rubbish stickerspicture is here, but it's grainy. should be easy to spot though, it stands out.
i'm going to call police now and then go round london fields, anyone got any other suggestions? i'm proper gutted. polo dream is over for the foreseeable future
