Yeah... fair point, 'tis only a Pomp. And that money could be better spent.
Thanks for all the advice. I was impulsive and already bought the frame last year so will persevere with the build. Just going to keep an eye on the classifieds and have a rummage through my parts bin for basic components so I can bring the total cost down.
@svendsvin / @Xavonseine – is the bolt-on cog the best way to go? Or SS MTB hub? How about DMR or Surly?
Fieldmouse-
Well, the Alfine chainset (single chainguard) gives a pretty defined 42.7mm CL so I'd base rear hub options around working with that if you plan on using it with the chainguard in place (no idea as to CL with the guard removed and chainring mounted to to outside).

If you're intending on running a singlespeed set up, the XT hub, with a fat sprocket and spacers will work fine, make gearing changes relatively straight forward, easily adjustable chainline and not cost the earth.
As @Dtroll points out, the wheel won't technically be as strong and while there are scenarios where extra strength is desirable, for every day use I haven't found it to make much of a difference either way.

Smart move I would say as the Pompetamine frames have now disappeared from On One UK website! Someone knows if they will come back one day?
