Former Elliot frame, snapped seat stays.
 
The nasty thing of the topic under the link is not only the fact that it is broken, but also that it is focused on the 'economics' of a repair. It is simple: You broke it, you fix it. Plus next time don't take a 753 frame for bikepolo.
 
Strawberries for Donkeys

Cycle polo eats classic road bikes as does the Government scrappage scheme eat classic British motors.... :-(

Word on faux street is that MTBs are the way forward for those with the hole, because they're tougher - bad news for us MTB fans then. Best get them affordable classic frames stored away now... ;-)

Mr K

I thought polo was about the hybrid now?

it's one think trashing a basic 501 but 753 :cry: . It's the cycling equivalent of this!
