I'm about to purchase a Pompino and was wondering what gear ratio you all use please?

44-17 for me, anything about 70 gear inches is good for road riding.

The frame is currently on offer at £100 - is that a steal and build it myself or am I getting a great bike already built (bar the freewheel) at £500???

I got my frame for £99 from On One, about £160 (from memory) for frame+fork+headset+headset fitting, and built the whole thing up myself for less than £500, including some second hand parts. I preferred to do it that way and end up with exactly the parts I wanted.

I'm not used to the ss gearing yet! Does this allow decent enough speed but still able to climb the odd hill or two encountered on commutes etc?

Yeah for me it works. No hills on my commute now but it was OK getting up the hills in Hampstead. Do you have a geared bike? Try sticking it in a single gear and not changing.
