I've got a used, but in great condition Origin 8 Del Pasado, size 53cm, white for sale. Included are a sealed bearing Cane Creek S-8 headset, 113 x 68 mm Shimano bottom bracket, Fuji saddle, seatpost, and 1/8" chain. All this for $210.

I can also include a freewheel only track wheel that I just built as a backup wheel for $50. It's a 32 hole track hub laced to a new bright yellow Weinmann dp-18 with machined sidewall. Including a cotton Velox rim strip and I've also tied and soldered the spokes, making it super strong.

This rig is designed for polo, but could easily work very well as a commuter or race bike. It has served me incredibly well and led to countless victories on the courts. If you are interested at all, please let me know and we may be able to work out a deal. I can also help in building it up to a complete bike if you don't have the parts. Pictures to come.

Here's a quick review of the Del Pasado

come on guys. I'll even help you build it up. I'm also open to offers. I know some of you have been plagued with polo bike problems for a long time.

I've also got a early generation polo guard and sugino crankset for up for grabs at $60. Somebody make me an offer on the frame.

Drew, I would take your unwanted child off of your hands, but I've found another up in Ohio. Good luck.

You got something against Mongolian bottom brackets now, Drew?

Racist.
