PoloPOnee ConstruGXion


Necsssity is the muh=ther of invention, which means that there'z some offspring of Poloponee bikez being crafted care of Nirad, Kendoll and of course Devon$. Several worthy candidate bikez, who are ready to serve out another more focused existence on the field have been ID'd as trusty steeds. A coupla six flipflophubz and a fat tire or two, maybe even a foot brake...
Since fixee sans brakez is the purest, most circular form of the sport, we'll make that our standard. ...and we'll flip or flop for major tourneys. The Stompa and Dennis Hopper still shine as the archetypal polo bikez.

G'wood polo nights, when to do'em... Where? Sayre Park?
We gots ta get some more black ABS mallets made. (this stuff does not shatter like PVC) Maybe try the smaller, 1 1/2" dia. and keep 'em lighter.
Bonedale polo barn? Can we play in Sopris Park? I truly believe that we have nothing to hide.... except the beer, smoke, and bikeporn. ...and wouldn't it be better to not be on "school groundz."

Pic-chard here, we got a SZ poloponee named MARtINI. (I don't drink them) Iz an old aluminum frame that was already run as SS, which will "not experience microfractures that could affect the structural integrity of the machine." The thought is: 24" w/ 3.0 DH tire in front with a 9er rigid fork. (just a bit shorter than a 26, and with a smaller reach-around wheel) Probly have some kinda brake in the back.

Get yer clunkerz out and give 'em a big POlo hug. The games are about to begin...

i think it would be a grand ol' idear to start up ghood games as well. get you scaredy cat cdale folks to ride on down the sweet sweet bike path to the river lands. maybe a flipflop week location?? i'm getting my wrist warmed up to be spinning wrenches full time again so any stompa in the need for a trusty ponie should make it on down to the one and only gearx where we will hug you if you bring pbr! (and if you don't but we prefer you do)

on a side note, giving thought to a mobile bike service via xtra. bring the shop to you or pick up and deliver your love to make love. oh how i love bikes!
