Hello! This is my first post. I am just getting familiar with the il pompino after about a month together. I took my first ride in this pictured configuration yesterday with brand new clement mxp tires. I bought a complete bike that was set up for city street riding and replaced the silly narrow flat handlebar with a Soma Clarence i had on the shelf, fresh mavic open sport rims front 32h shimano 105 qr hub / rear origin8 36h track hub, 22 tooth freewheel to complement the existing 42 tooth crank, pedals donated from my mountain bike, and clement cloud dream grippy tires. I ride this bike For quick trips, for fun rides, and now for riding trails! It is a heck of a lot lighter than my mountain bike or touring/commuting rig! Climbing dirt trails is easier on this bike than my mountain bike as long as the roots aren't too big!
