I have wanted one since before I even started playing polo, but then I got to thinking about how great one of these would be for polo. The frame is overbuilt as all hell, and fairly inexpensive. The geometry is more old-school mtn. bike, and less like the modern designs with the super-sloping, aggressive look. Rear-facing horz. dropouts, so wheel changes and adjustments are easy. Another really cool thing about the 1x1 is that you can run pretty much any wheel size you want, depending on what your brake setup is, and it has mounts for everything (disc, canti, v's, sidepulls). It's probably best setup for 26"s, but you could run 700s or even 29"ers with the right brakes.
The rear is wide; 135mm. And the chainstays flare out pretty wide too, so you have to make sure your rear wheel hub is the right width (or at least your axle - 175mm wide), and it works best with cranks that are compact, like most modern mtn or singlespeed cranksets. I'm running a 122mm BB on mine with cheapo Bulletproof BMX cranks.
