My Katakura Pisto Fixie Bike Now
Since then, I have been gathering bike bits and pieces, trying to build a new bike, which would replace my Katakura Pisto Fixi Bike as well as a bike, acting as a 'polo dedicated bike' which I always had been dying for building one for long, long time. It took a long while as I was getting parts from all over the world while tackling piles and piles of university assignments to do it.
Finally, although minor adjustments will be expected to be made,
It is the show time.
That's it
A dual pull break lever is used. It works perfectly for quick stopping.
BMX cranks are used. They are not commonly used among polo players, and there are few things to consider such as the chain line (you might need to put some spacers) and, distance between the chain and chain stay (if you make the front chain ring too small, the chain might hit the chain stay, making a cracky noise) and the type of bottom bracket (Generally an Euro bottom bracket is required to use BMX cranks with track / road frame), I think it is ideal for polo as first, tough as a bull and second, crazy low gear ratio is possible (mine is 25front/16 rear).
Yeah, of course, it is not the KKK.
