I have no idea how this thing is still alive. Started out as a commuter but has been a polo bike since 2011. And not gentle polo, either. Lots (LOTS) of high-speed crashes, hopping around, sloppy nose-pivots, getting hammered by my own mallet... It was even a work bike for a second. Thing's a damned trouper.
