Bikes of polo ! Show me what you got

Aight then here’s my little boy:

LA LUCE CYCLES @LaPassoire

Frame.

Columbus Zona Tubing with 44mm Head Tube, Paragon hooded dropouts, 15mm thru in front, track in back, Geo is not stolen cough cough
Discguard savety first made by me, soon you can order them :)

He got thiccer (fork)legs than Morgan with a nice 100-140-100 cause I fucked up the notching…

This boy is not straight, neither in the front nor the back simply because I am no framebuilder but I just love him as he is.

He will get cleaned then some stickers put on, put in the garden to oxidize a little, stickers removed and 2K epoxy clearcoated…you’ll see

Parts.

Backstory if you’re interested

This is my 27th polobike. The last one was a stolen which took, let’s say a long time to be built and after just a couple of months I had it stolen 100m from the court in shitty shitty Ulm, while (free-) locked outside the building, while I was showering.

He will be my last though inshallah
