chicago: SURLY STEAMROLLER w/ welded bars on fork?
Anyone ever see this bike?
It's a brown Surly w/ like mountain bike bar ends welded onto the fork. They're on the front of the fork (or sides) and face down.
I hope the dude isn't holding onto those when he's riding...

Yeah, I saw that dude riding once when I was on foot and waiting to cross the street. He wasn't using those "low bars" though. I wished I could have asked to see him using them. I also wanna know.

I rode with him for a while in the terror trials in 2004... Unless a lot of people weld bars onto their forks in Chicago. He used the super bars for a short time while I was with him. The name slips my mind right now.

Bike polo, eh?
I'm not a mind reader. Four letters would of equaled an uncanny amount of clarity.

PS - Never heard of bike polo. Never seen it. Nothing. Nada.
