I ve been happy with my pompino for the last few years.

A fun and cheerful ride, but there is always been a few niggle: it's heavy and i always straggle on any climb.
The realy slack seat tube is not that good for my short legs.
So i start thinking about a new bike with a geometry thats more road oriented but still able to fit large tyre and most of the part from the pompino
My plan was to have an aluminium frame made by Vetta in italy ( whichalso made my track frame ) but then i started thinking that maybe i can have a deraileur hanger for future use as a 1x, that imlpies a 130mm rear .
But then i thought : why not go steel, rocker dropouts, disc and tapered haedtube???
As you can see the price of the project has escalated quickly
Now, do you guys think that is worth spending so much more for what basicaly is sgoing to be a glorified pompino?
