  • Shouldn't have started reading this topic a few weeks ago... too much fun

    Since I recently upgraded my fixed gear with some nicer parts and my commuter/roadbike fell apart after 2 years of commuting in salt and grime, I got a nice pile of leftover pieces to build something up for the upcoming winter. So I got a Pompino.. I must say that after 3 days of riding, I've completely fallen in love.

    So the current setup:

    Raw burn, M (I'm 176cm or 5'9 if ever useful for anyone)
    SRAM S300 (48t) / GXP
    Shimano 105 5800 STI levers
    Tektro 926AL (rear still to be mounted, but probably just for the looks)
    Miche Pistard rear with 17t fixed cog and Mavic Aksium front wheel
    Random Bontrager stem, handlebar and seatpost
    And very fast 23c tires, lol

    Thinking of getting 35mm SKS Bluemels and tanwall Schwalbe Road Cruisers in 32c to complete the build.

    bai :)

  • Hey-hey :) not sure if they fit! :D

    I ended up ordering 42mm Bluemels and got a nice deal for 32c Gatorskins. I was stupid enough to cut the mudguard stays before mounting new tires so they were aaaalmost too short. I was lucky enough and got the desired tight fit :)

    I am now even more satisfied with how it rides, soft like a pillow.
