Polo Itch!

UPDATE: 2/20 1:40PM | NO POLO | WE WILL PLAY SOON ENOUGH BE ON THE LOOKOUT!

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2PM - 5PM, UNDER THE S-CURVE

I've got an itch that needs to be scratched. A Polo Itch.

Sunday doesn't look like the best for weather but most of the snow is gone and I'm not afraid of the temperature or the 'mix'...

So here's the deal, if 6 people RSVP by Sunday at noon. It's on like Donkey Kong!

Go to the Facebook Event page to RSVP. Hope to see you there!

Alex's Rig.

This is my 1973 Botecchia Deluxe given to me by my friend Fish as a frame and fork a few years back. In my hands, it originally spent some time as some sort of single speed winter beater slash all-around junker before realizing it would make a pretty killer polo whip when the big polo boom of Grand Rapids came around in the spring of 2009.

This bike, like many other polo bikes around this great land called America, is outfitted almost fully of found, free, or otherwise completely random parts bin parts, with exception to a black 32h Velocity Chukker on the rear and a 32h Velocity Fusion on the front.....which could probably use a hell of a tune-up.

I once read that fixed gear polo is a thing of the past, and I am a recent believer. My gearing is 30x16 with a freewheel which may be just about perfect. An old SR Apex touring crank with a weirdo 86 BCD for the little chainring to keep it STEEZY. nom?

ARE YOU NOMMIN?!?!?!?!?!??!
