This is so tight - @ioreka is right, the paint is like a whole other thing in real life. I am INCREDIBLY JEALOUS of the awesome text, I want something that would suit my punk rock lifestyle now too, like 'Kind Regards' or 'M&S 4 LIFE'- and Pomp princess madison team! Cheers for the shout @andyp it might be perfect as I don't think there will be much of a NYE for me.
I agree the gearing is good. I didn't realise (tho it makes perfect sense) that tyre size affects GI and it might explain why my the 66 on my pomp feels more like 69 or something now that I have 35 knobblies. Shit is not easy to mash around in the mud.

That's very high for off road riding. @Jon. is running 39x19 in London League races, where he is contesting for the win, week in, week out.
I ran 42x20 for Incredibly Cross last Friday and never felt under (or over) geared.
at the behest of @youramericanlover even though i can't take a good picture to save my life:
built up a fun beater pompino for (fixed) commuting and sscx, couldn't find any black chainsets lower than a 42 lying around so at the moment it's silver but soon i'll replace with black and put some crabon forks on. currently testing some TVR paint for cole coatings - the pictures don't do it justice at all, it's a subtle intergalactic delight irl:
