would make a sweet polo bike with that front disc!

yep. I'll return to polo court with this one tomorrow after break of two years...

I wish they made the cluster fork with disc brake mounts for this reason!

That would be great. they did only with cantilevers last time. I've been thinking about welding mount to my OG fork.
it was really nice to play polo after a long break anyhow.

Still fresh, +1 on the disc. But a shame not to run the OG forks. Ever thought of having disc tabs brazed on?

I have been planning to put post mounts on the OG, but would need professional help for that.

that chainring looks worn out ;)

Yep, I'll go through the snowy season and replace it with sg75 then. Not the strongest chainring the Lattice.

hi , so i see you have tried both 520 and XT, according to you , which one would you recommend for fixed gear?
Regards

At first i had 520 in this but they were rubbish. Bearings died in first month. Xt's are way better, but i have been riding 520's for year in my other bikes. These were just an unlucky pair.

Really dope setup! CXtires and still such a lot of clearance!
What ratio do you run? I tried my sscx in fixed mode but could't find a gear that would be rideable offroad while not making me really slow on tarmac.

Now it runs 47/19 which is ok for commuting. For snowier paths I'm going for 20t in the rear. I'm not riding cx or trails with this.

Thanks for the advice! Thats pretty much the same compromise I came up with in the end (used 40/16 sprockets though). Guess I`ll just have to learn to spin it even harder, when on the road :D
Cheers!

Would love to go for a ride on this, looks like such a fun bike… Also happy to see it all dusty from riding in its' right element :)

Wide risers and wide tyres rule

Yeah. These 35c Kenda's measure 32 mm width. The bars are 64 cm wide. Nice control on the snowy and icy terrains.

Very clean build.

Thanks! It was a bit dusty and dirty at the photoshoot, but I think it's ok for a bike to look like it has been ridden. And it has and will be!

Not going to lie. My favorite bike on Pedalroom as of now. LOL.
