Hows it going guys, I'm wondering jn your experience would it be worth changing the frameset on my langster (2009 Monaco I truly hate the white frame rims)

Can it be done?

So you hate the rims on the wheels but want to change the frame? Why not just get a new wheelset?

Its more the white frame that gets to me, looks dirty all the time. The more important part is I fancy bigger tyres and a steel frame

I'll udate wheelset in the future

Well then I'd say you'd need new brakes and cables for the Pomp - it only takes V's and cantis, if you went V's you'd probably need new brake levers too. Maybe the chain and bottom bracket given the geometry of the frame will be different.

Hmmm possibly better off starting again , its a case of keeping the build as cheap as possible

Just get the £15 set of mini vs from planet x. Keep your levers.

BB will fit. Chain is a possibility.

Headset won't transfer though.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
