On One Pompino owners...

Shimano makes a cheap 110bcd hollowtech II crankset around 50£ all included - looks like the one in the picture

thinking of joining the club... tryingg to get my head around the sizing. any other tall (6foot 3) riders?

XL frame do you think? for delivery work...

Sorry just answering the question of what they were no what I'd recommend!

I'm using shimano deore mtb triple, from the year before so it was around £50. Outer ring for bash guard, middle for road gear and granny for polo.

But yeah I'd be going for strength first then cheapness... Looks don't come into it.

I'm 6ft4 and used to ride an XL Pomp. Was a decent fit. 100mm stem I think. Used it with MTB risers and drops. Fun with either.

@Murphys_Law

Oh and you realise there are people with hope cranksets in polo?

#muchspendywow

I'm 6' and have an L and am right on the cusp of it being too small, would think anything smaller than an XL for you wouldn't fit.

I'm also 6'3" and I ride an XL. If anything it's a tiny bit small. I have a fair bit of stack and seatpost.

Ta guys. Yeh 75s a bit expensive. But I need a half decent set as once up and running again this is my only bike and i often ride fixed then flip over for polo. I once rounded a set of Messengers off (cheaper than 75s admittedly) by messing about fixed so I was actually wondering about a bmx type splined set - seems you can pick up an eighthinch set online for 50 bugs now.. :/

Hello Khornight btw! I rather miss SE polo, need to get playing again with you lot once i'm back in London..

Just had a vague urge to get a low trail fork for my pomp and rock the front rack look.

What's the go-to forum favourite fork for this? Is it the Thorn one?

My pompetamine got some new forks today to allow larger tyres up front. Excuse the dirty shared hall way.

I'm 6'3" and ride an XL, 120mm stem, loads of post. Fits me fine.

Just get a Shimano external-BB compact chainset, take off the big ring and fit either a bashguard or single-ring chainring bolts. Chainline should be close enough.

With Kojak 35-622 tyres, a 34:22 gear ratio should give you an on-trend 42" gear ratio.

That's the same gearing I used when riding my old pomp for polo. I managed to get a 16t on the other side to give a reasonable gear to get to the courts on.

I came across the latest deal at planet x and I'm tempted to buy one. Now I'm doubting what size I should order.
I'm 179'ish cm's tall and according to the size guide I should take a Large frame.

However, at this moment I allready own a Focus Mares ax 1.0 in a size large.
At this bike I feel a tiny bit to stretched and the horizontal top tube length of this bike is 553mm.

So when I look at the size guid of the Pompino at size Medium the horizontal top tube is only 2 mm less. And the tob tube size of a Large is 565mm.

So now I'm tempted to go with a Medium and install a long stem and have a lot of seatpost showing.

Please help me to get rid of my doubts.

I reckon a Medium will suit you fine. I've ordered a Large and I'm 6'1, so I'm just tall enough for an XL but I ride a 56cm roadie.. Never got on with frames that are actually my 'size' (58/XL)

Slightly smaller frames are always more fun anyway!! Much better to have more post and stem than a stubby stem and only a fist of post (which just looks crap imo!)

Almost finished my Pompetamine today. Still need to dial in the fit and fit mudguards.
Specs:
TRP Spyres, Alfine crankset, XM317s on Formula and Novatec, Marathons, gutted Rival carbon levers and some random Ritchey Comp stuff...

That looks superb. Makes me very tempted...

I survived riding to work brake less today with the new forks. Cant see a way to get a brake to bridge that drop.

I love my pomp.

haha I bet car drivers gave you a wide berth...

I'm pretty much the same height as you and I went medium, so glad I got that and not large. Showing plenty of post but only a 100mm stem with drops.

Didn't see many, I stuck to cycle routes through parks and down the river mostly.

Is it worth trying to get my new frame chased and faced or are On-One frames usually ok?

Oh hai! :)

Yeah square taper are shit, I don't have experience of bmx cranks, but hollowtech bb's are great.
