Mavic 317 rims 36 spokes, DMR rear hub, shimano XT front.

i want a sloping top tube. bike looks awesome.
"rubber side down boys"
sloping top tube is where it's at. After crunching the jewels on a tall track style frame I have always been looking for "exit options" in a polo bike frame.
I am sure people still build "polo specific" track style frames, ie horizontal top tubes, because of their heritage in urban/messenger origins of bike polo and they think they look cool.

Sick Gt!!
