This is my #EC1 pimp Pomp. It is a bespoke custom steed with Italian heritage. Pompino means 'implied consent' in Italian.
Things to note:
A steel frame supports the commodities market - which as we all know took a huge hit Q1! - but a carbon fork shows I'm not afraid to sunset legacy material;
Mudguard keeps the street scum at bay;
Time Atac system instead of road cleats makes it easier to bow to foreign investors;
Gumwalls are the 'leather interior' of tyres;
No branding means I understand minimalist aesthetics;
23mm width alum rims not 21.5mm as although that’s probably quite garish I'm not a monster.
Apologies for the photo, it was taken in the secure carpark. That is also not my Porsche by the way (no thanks!), my Maserati is just out of frame.
