VW, in India, has remained an automaker for the elite class till 2010. But surely, they had different plans for the Indian market. Models like Jetta and Passat could not help them establish the brand among the middle class Indians, for whom the Swifts and i10s were obvious choices. They had to come up with a small car that offers extremely good value for money, not compromising a bit on the VW quality standards. The Polo.

When I left Memphis, i sold my 24 cruiser for $100. After rdiing my little sister’s mountain bike in to the ground, I went looking for a better bike. I bought the Frejus from Michael at Spokes and Strings, when their store was a little hole in the wall on Havermayer. He pulled it out of the basement, built it up and told me (seriously) to protect it with your life. this bike has a lot of soul left in it. this was 2002, things were different back then. we weren’t so jaded, Brooklyn was our oyster. I took that to heart, and rode this thing everywhere. I retired it the first time after i bent the fork in Chombo’s first DUMBO Alleycat, after coming in 2nd place to Austin. I brought it to the Pit when i started playing polo 2 years ago, and it’s always been my steed. Honestly, it’s my first love and it’s really REALLY hard to hang it up, but it’s stumbling to the finish line and deserves a rest. that fork on their now is a CHVNK shack scavenge, and bent as well. Right seatstay, totally crooked. I think Zach is tired of repairing/watching it fail, so lay it to rest i will.
