I did the paint job myself with masking tape and Rustoleum High Performance Enamel. It's not perfect but it's good enough for me.

The Batman action figure was one of my favorite toys growing up. I spent countless hours making him fight this army guy action figure I found in a sandbox in elementary school. Batman was always the bad guy. This isn't the polo bike I deserve, but it's the polo I need.

yeah too bad you painted your headset like you stole the bike.... :)

compared to the price of a joust at the time, it was a steal :-P

Pro-friendly bike polo!
