is the left-hand twill denim of the 011's just as slubby as the other denim used by pbj, say for their 013s or 005s ?

1.) Polo bike.
2.) Rear brake doesn't stop for shit and you blow through tires skidding.
You can run a double lever, which is nice cause you can dial in the brakes either rear-heavy or front-heavy and get more predictable stopping--but that requires getting a double lever and keeping both wheels quite true.
Honestly I really like rear-only playing, but you can't stop fast enough on small courts, and replacing tires all the time when doing heavy tourney play gets pretty old.
one more question. what type of brake? a lot of the people I play with have direct pull brakes, but i see a few disk brakes in there, is it mostly preference based? or are there some clear pros and cons to each

Freewheel, front brake, gear ratio of 1.5-1.7. This is exactly what you want.
why front brake?

Just started playing bike polo, fucking love it.
making my first mallet this weekend, considering making a beater bike but i dunno how cheap i'd be able to make a fixie :\
any of you polo players have opinions on front vs rear brake & fixed vs free & I guess type of brake too.

built up a new bike this morning. was originally gonna salvage a lot of the components from my old bike but ended up getting new everything pretty much. rides buttery smooth with the sugino 75 bb and new sram chain. stripped the paint and was trying to let it rust before the clear coat but after two weeks nothing really happened and i couldn't be bothered waiting any longer. don't know who made the frame but it's made of reynolds 531 steel with campag dropouts and fork tips. it's got 1422, 11 or tt stamped on the bb shell and 33 on the steerer. if anyone has any idea what it could be i'd be interested to know!
looking damn good

but i dunno if going down a size would be a good idea.
depends on the room you've got in the thigh i guess.

FH plate belt?
haha i wish. my brother bought me a belt from this store called finn in pdx, and i got a tanner belt. i keep the original belt on my apcs, and the tanner belt on my fhs and switch the buckle as necessary.

one of the best restaurants would be toro bravo on NE Russell. it's tapas and amazing, make sure to get the burger.
problem is, they open at 5, and are pretty much full right when they open. so depending on the size of your crowd there might be a wait

I'm about 5'8" and they're size 30's. unhemmed.
they shrank about 3" in the inseam and 1" in the waist after a 45 minute hot soak.
