so i'm almost finished building up our community polo bike. this will be a bike that we can bring to the games for those times we have too many people and not enough bikes.

I've got everything I need to build the "incredible hulk" except for a few key items. I was hoping people might look through their parts boxes & help me out.

I need:
1. 26.8 seatpost - doesn't have to be nice, but long would be good
2. V-Brake lever
3. Flat/BMX style pedals

just pm me if you can help, or talk to me on sunday at polo

we'll likely need that bike for this Sunday. Dayton is coming down, as well as a larger-than-usual crowd of potential players and spectators.

I have some basic flat platform pedals, and a post, but it is 26.6, not 26.8.

Alex ,
I have several frames and associated polo bike wares I have been collecting since I started playing last summer. We should probably show up with at least two functioning bikes. Between the two of us and whatever parts come trickling in from this thread it should not be a problem. As a matter of fact, maybe we should get together on Saturday morning at my house for a build and breakfast session.

EVERYBODY HEAR THAT!

BUILD AND BREAKFAST @ HENRY'S HOUSE ON SATURDAY MAY 10th. BRING ANY JUNK PARTS THAT WILL BE USEFULL TO US AND OR BREAKFAST FOOD.
RSVP BY REPLYING THIS THREAD.

does anyone know what the deal is with the green community bike I built up a while back... the womens GT MTB frame?

I want to take it back and fix the issue with the chainline, but I seem to remember someone saying that something else was wrong with it, like some parts were missing or something...
