I play. right lever only. Front and rear brake. right side of bar cut off. Converted MTB frame to SS. Low gearing for sprints and low speed movements. There is a fairly large group of us that play in MPLS>

We used to play out at Denia all the time but I talked the city into building us a court down at Mack park off mckinney(city had purchased and set up street hockey court out at Denia but old ladys in the neighborhood said it would bring crime to the park so forced the city to take them down, so we found an old under-used tenis court that was in need of repair so they just took the nets down and put up the boards there.) Usually there sunday from 5-10ish, should come out sometime!

Still need to get some pictures of just my bike but here is my polo rig. 26" Monocog Flight edition (only made them a couple years in the aluminum, super beefy but super lightweight as well), Cheap mosso ebay fork, 48 spoke sun Rhyno's I picked up for 100$ almost 2 years ago, lots of random parts.

This is my Spalding Blade turned polo rig, "Marco Polo"

Geared 38X20, freewheeling two brakes and wide riser bars, and corrugated plastic wheel discs. I was playing on a fixed gear, brakeless at 42X19 with narrow risers, but wanted to try something a little more progressive. This setup is working much better and it cost me a total of 50 bucks. The bike was free and I had pretty much everything else already.

Not mine, but this Mongoose Moosegoose wannabe would look great for Polo!
