Rob G (Chicago)'s special new Joust

The Joust is an amazing polo bike. Light, quick, and tight turning. On a few occasions though we've seen seatmasts cracking due to the lateral stresses of polo. All that hopping and t-bones start to take their toll after a while. Well Rob G owned one of the older Jousts still in use, and recently his seatmast sheered right off!

The solution was creative yet simple- use a larger seattube. Instead of the 27.2 used on most Jousts, this bike uses a much beefier 31.8 as seen below...

Rob is happy with it and the extra steel and welds it should be a vast improvement. Of course he had to look at a different selection of seatposts, but i like what he ended up with. The whole bike just looks better too!

Also of note is Rob's dual/independent braking system. It's not for everyone (myself included) but he loves it. He can choose to put all the braking power on the front or the back, or just lock down both.


It's a pretty bike, and probably the most advanced Joust to date. I love these bikes and can't wait to see how Tucker keeps on improving them!

Thanks Rob!
