EHVFXD‘s Rutger found this article about a prototype FBM polo frame + fork on The League of Bike Polo.

After about a year of begging Steve Crandall and dozens of emails and phone calls with Mike Erb, we finally got it. This first prototype goes to Nick Vaughan, hopefully I’ll have one sometime soon. Keep your eyes out for this bike at North Americans and Worlds, you are encouraged to find Nick and try it out and let us know what you think. This frame was hand made in Ithaca NY on the Sword jig with some tweaks. A higher bottom bracket for less pedal strike while turning, slacker head tube angle for minimal toe overlap, shorter chain stays, long drop-outs for gearing options, v-brake bosses, Cinelli cable guides, longer top tube, clearance for 38mm tires and shorter wheelbase. This pictured frame does not include a gusset at the down tube but future ones will. I cannot say when this will be in full on production but hopefully by fall you can order one, don’t ask me how much they will cost, I don’t know. I can tell you this is a gorgeous bike and the ride is incredibly nice. We do not have an official name for the frame yet though all of us in RVA have been referring to it as the Battle Axe. Please feel free to spread the word about this frame by reposting these photos and feel free to quote me. THIS IS A PROTOTYPE*

There are way more pics in the article, just click on the link.

And they made a video edit of the final game of last Sunday’s tournament!

EHVFXD‘s Ruudie got a blog of his own, go check it out!

Both FUCCIT teams, Grizzly and the Teddybears and the FUCCIT Old Fuccs, did kinda well in the Dutch Worldchampionships Qualification Tournament. Grizzly and the Teddybears took 3rd place and the FUCCIT Old Fuccs took 4th place.
1st place was taken by EHVFXD 1 and 2nd place was taken by team Vaderdag (a random team made up by several players with no team that showed up at the tournament).
We, the FUCCIT Old Fuccs didn’t even think we would make it that far! Tjeerd and I had as many beer breaks as possible and we played our games the Italian way, let Le Haute score 1 or 2 goals in the beginning of the game, and play as defensive as possible and look out for the counter. Tjeerd proved to be great goal keeper, and I showed I can do more than standing still in the goal and can be a kinda ok-ish midfielder. Le Haute is still one of Holland’s best offensive players. If it’s up to me, the FUCCIT Old Fuccs will play more often in this formation…
It was great to meet the guys from Fixed Gear Antwerp too, hope to see you guys soon!

Thank you Thomas and Skitch for organizing this fun tournament!

The doc. told me that I had to do stuff I liked doing earlier. That also means posting some shit here on the website. I hate doing that recently but hé the doc. says it’s good for me and Djee-Djee (from EHVFXD)send me this mail so here it is:

6th June Sunday Polo/BBQ in Eindhoven

Where: Kasteellaan, Eindhoven.
Time: 12.00u 
Google maps: http://maps.google.nl/maps?f=d&source=s … 17,,0,9.37

What: polo + bbq

How: bring your own food (meat or whatever you eat) and drinks, so no hassle with I don’t like that food, etc. I will go and get throw away bbq’s, so on Sunday I will ask a small fee (1euro) from each on of you. 
Albert Heijn XL is pretty close by, open from 16.00u till 22.00u.

Please come all because the weather should be very nice and we can have a nice relaxed poloday!

But don’t expect a post from me every day, I still hate it. And I’m not going but Arnhem probably manage to get a team there I guess.

It was really good to see some of the guys from EHVFXD also showed up and played some bike polo, thanks!

After we (from Arnhem) had a website and started a crew about all that fixie shit. Rotterdam had a website and crew who once a week ride and do tricks. But now we also got Eindhoven Fixed!

So check out that website of those guys with the first “only” fixed gear forum here in the Netherlands.

Fixed Gear Holland is growing!
