All Australian teams played to the highest levels but were looking up a tall hill and we have a ways to go yet

The tournament here is like the best music festival with all of your favourite bands on all at once

A little under a week ago the first custom polo bike in Australia was unveiled. The bike is my Symes Whiskey, a new design which incorporates elements from the maneuverability of Kunstrad bikes, toughness of mountain bikes & neutral road bike handling (recognising the need for stable one handed control).

I’m sponsoring Damon to go to the Polo World Championships in Berlin with the bike and win the tournament. After that, he’ll go on to the London Open and then the Australian Championships in Brisbane.

Good luck to Damon and all the guys going to Berlin!! I’m hardly jealous at all

Commuter Cycles is also sponsoring Damon to the value of one super awesome rear tyre and the bike features in an article on their website.

Here’s Damon’s Obligatory Drive Side Shot (ODSS) with a few comments.

Other points of interest: Some of you might have seen the stainless disc guard bolted to integrated mount points. I think the silver guard and cranks nicely counterpoint the bling fork.
