Framekit 26″

From: 580,00 

Our first Bike Polo specific frame, made from high strength aluminium. Extensive prototyping and years of experience led to a whole list of improvements since the first version, which make this an extremely durable and tough frame at reasonable weight. It comes with a 5 year warranty against defect in material and workmanship.

Equipped with our signature sliding dropouts, which allows for changing gears on single speed setups with no tools needed. Install two chainring-sprocket combinations with the same tooth-count, just open the quick release and switch the chain between the two gears before putting the wheel back in the dropout and tightening the quick release again. Also great for polo touring because optional derailleur dropouts allow for using a regular shifter setup.

A few words on top tube length: This frame is designed to give the rider a comfortable, laid back riding position on the bike, without needing to run a standard 100 mm stem (which would increase the travel radius on the riders hands while turning). As the top tube is a bit longer than usual, subtract 25 mm from your normal stem length to maintain your usual riding position. Weight distribution is shifted towards the rear wheel, allowing for easier wheelie-turns.

TT – effective top tube length, measured horizontally
ST – seat tube length from center of bottom bracket to top of seat tube
HTA – head tube angle
STA – seat tube angle
BB dr. – bottom bracket drop
WB – wheel base
CS – Chain stay length
