Ah sweet. Got some 50mm ABS downpipe, but am looking for something thicker like MDPE/HDPE.

If I do cap mallets, it would only be on one side for the ease of it + some inserts are hollow too... Just will end up making the end of the mallet more rigid!

Oh yeah and probably going to use mountainbike cranks, with a bash guard and a 32t ring, so can use an 18t sprocket...

Made up some wheel disks by stealing some Estate Agent signs, and fitted them to an old set of wheels from when my bike was a complete.

Nice one shins... What gear ratio/ gear inches would you recommend from experience?

Haha, sweet. How a plan comes together. Want to build a Polo Bike now...

Ha, we never have played so it would be a new thing for all of us. Sparky used to play on LDN...

Ok, I got a week off work, and want to go for a blast....

Try and get the day off work/ out of college etc...

Here is the plan:

Meet up early (9ish at the forum)
Ride out to Yarmouth
Head North on the coastline
Do 50 miles or so on coastal ride
Head back to the city

Who is up for some of that action? Given you a bit of notice to try and get the time off. Would be good to get some fresh meat out for the slaughter too...

Yeah gutted, but it will be alright. Will be fine wjrn it is all built up.

What happened to the pink. Haahahahahaha. When ya gonna build it up? Looks well sweet...

Post picures when its ready!

Well good bikes for the money... Go to Evans and work out ya sizing. Probably 56-58 I'd of thought...

Yeah me too... Gonna make another mallet tonight if anyone is interested...

Have you seen many fixed gear bikes in Dereham? Obviously loads keep popping up in the city but dunno about the towns on the outskirts....

Hahaha. That's why we need spoke cards. Too many bikes without faces just outta the radar scope on our small scene. Tag them up with some shamless advertising...

You know me. I will be there with bells on...

Got a route planned yet? How's about out to Yarmouth, then back to the city on an alternative route.

Meet at 8 outside the Forum. Leave at 8:15... Nice distance. Try and hit 50 miles...

***Norwich Polo

***Lets get some games going boys. Who is in. Started making loads of kit. Would be great to get all you NVS boys out. Started making mallets, which are available for purchase, or just to play with. Its up to you... Would be good to check how good they are. Got a number of different designs that I am trying so far...

Shafts:
-Steel Shaft (Slimline, Golf Clubs)
-Aluminum Shaft (Medium, Ski Poles)
-Aluminum Shaft (Fat, Broom/ Mop Handles)

Heads:
-Solid Heads
-Drilled Heads
-Solid Heads With Caps
-Drilled Heads With Caps

gonna start trying different materials, jusing simple ABS tubing at the minute but there are all sorts of other options, along with HDPE bars tu run through the middle, and capping the ends...

Grips:
-Bar Tape
-Inner Tubes
-Golf Grips
-Bicycle Grips

Fixing Bolts:
-Stainless Steel
-Titanium

Also working on DIY frame pads and Wheel Disks... Obviously with your input I can go a lot further with these ideas. I will happily sell these Polo Mallets for anything between £5 and £20 (more with Titanium Bolts). May have some new thicker poles coming next week too(these will be industrial mop handles! just gotta get them from work).

Will find some great spots for a some games. Found the one on Belvedere Street. Went there last night with Machine Is Bored, Sparky and Sam91. Thought it was flood lit, but nah, unfortunately not... The one at Eaton next to the skate park is floodlit until 11pm most of the time. Apparently Jenny Lind is a good be (just on Vauxhall Street). That is smack head central though.

What are your thoughts? Start a mini tourney? Dan said we got invites to go to Cambridge for a match...

Sweet, no probs. Good to get everyone networking. You know its worth checking out the NNVS for sale board too as bits n bobs come up from time to time... Just built some more polo mallets. Yours for 10 pound a piece if ya interested. All brand new shit on em too... Gonna post a polo thread real soon...

Yup... How's the bike dude, was good to meet you both earlier. A few of us will bike to Dereham or some shit if yah up for biking back with us? +nly 40 odd miles, or we can all hook up a week day countryside ride...

nice meeting most of u last night.

Most of us? Hahaha. Who didn't you like then?!?!

This bike is bomb proof, has got some serious stuff on it, and is BMX spec. Would be ideal for racing + only about $450! Fit bike co are a really good BMX brand too...

Hahaha, yah I just got in and flaked on the sofa. Put my ipod on and drifted...

Nice to meet you last night Sam91. Will have to get more proper rides up and running soon.

Glad you liked Sloughbottom park too Sparky. Am gonna get a racing BMX in the summer, maybe a 24" cruiser/racer. Maybe like this one...

I am not a big fan of the steamroller... I recon something with thicker tubing. They always look so thin. Whatever floats your boat though.

You need to come into the 21st century. Quils and threads are cool but ahead/ internal headsets with 1 1/8" stems. Defo the way forward.

Nice, any thoughts...

I have 32 on the rear 22 on the front. 72 on the bmx, and a Specialized Rockhopper in the works, plus loads a wheels lying around....

Cool yeah I only live round the corner. Could always christen my new mallets in a bit if your in. Think there is a bit of glass there though...
