"Bicycle Polo: It's just one of the new ways kids are having fun with bikes"
This Week Magazine, November 15, 1959

It's a great shot - possibly the last taken by that photographer.

Apparently they are selling armless hands.

Sounds like it might be the 2016 version: archive.konaworld.com/archive/2016...

Less tire clearance, quick release instead of thru axles and different frame geo on the 2016...def more of a touring bike than the current sutra ltd's.

Cool! The new 12 speed GRX build you rode is more money than the SRAM 11sp build I have, so if it will be a niche bike for you I can understand not wanting to cough up the dough! Maybe you can find a used one?

These things will be a safety menace in the bike lanes...I'm going to need a bigger mallet!

Anyone up for a round of bike lane robot polo?

Thank you! It's a very scenic route and I want to go back when it's not so hot.😅

Yup...admittedly I am biased because I own one 😂 but it's been excellent for days rides and fully loaded bikepacking. Here is a nice list of 29er dropbar bikes: bikepacking.com/index/drop-b...
