Ty and I are meeting at Debacle this Thursday to drink beer, talk bikes and thrash out some ideas for a bike polo event.
Feel free to join us - I’ll be there around 5.30.
- Steven
The wife is out on Thursday night so I don’t have anyone else to feed… you boys having dinner there? I will leave straight from work then, should get there around 6.00
Radness, will try make it along, made an attempt at starting up bike polo a while ago, still have some street hockey balls
Balls are good, can’t wait to play with them…
My days of batchelorism are short so pub food is still a goer.
Ah damn, I’ll be in syd on thurs seeing the strokes, would love to give polo a crack though!
Keith - spotted you this morning crossing Barry drive heading into ANU. Woulda called out but it looked fricken cold out there and I had the car heater going full blast!

…unless L was offering to cook for us? heh
My hands was so damn frozen, stupid antarctic weather
Well that was fun. Tea, Ty, Liam and I are gonna rumble at 3pm Sunday 29 August in a venue to be announced. Post here if you want to join us!
Lots of good possibilities for a playing field were discussed, and we’ll be scouting around, but drop us a line if you have any suggestions.
In the mean time it’s off to the tip and the garage for a bit of DIY mallet-building…
Ill be in for it too, sorry I didn’t turn up today, something came up
Had some free time today, found enough bits and pieces in the garage to build my polo bike. The shittest bike I’ve ever built but built for purpose. Low ratio (50ish gear inches), rear brake, nothing euro, carbon or hand made; but so much fun. Now just need a disk for the front wheel.
That is disgustingly good.
Right, the bad-assest polo bike challenge is ON.
Meh, I think the real challenge is to spend the least, as stuff IS gonna get hurt. Therefore, unless somebody gets paid to build their bike I’ve already won (or drawn). 
I can play by those rules.
The Recyclers at Mitchell have lengths (1-2m long) of black gas piping (in the racks out the back) and about a handful of ski poles. I picked some up today and the piping is perfect for the mallet. I made a couple of prototypes and all seems good.
$10 for two metres of pipe and four ski poles!!
I’m in, pending the slipshod construction of a suitable mallet and procurement of POS bike, or some type of frame force field, or the powers of telekinesis.
You could wrap your frame in some kind of firm cheese, gouda or perhaps a haloumi-like substance.
Just sayin’.
(cos Fixed won’t let me delete a double-post)
I could, or I could turn the frame inside out and then use the cheese to train a team of monkey ninjas to sabotage to opposing team’s mallets, so that they were no more useful than dugongs in a jelly wrestle.
