  • Latest state of my Pompino. Now with a pair of the Jack Brown tires on sale from On One. Had it about 5 years now and a lot of miles in cities, country lanes, off road etc. Still absolutely love it.

    Next stage is to attempt to relace the rear wheel with a 5 speed Sturmey Archer instead of the current 3 speed, should make long, hilly days touring in the South West and Wales a bit easier this spring/summer.

  • Is your 3 speed same as what'd be found on Raleigh Shopper? I've couple of old'uns might be interesting to run on my pomp.

  • It's a Sturmey archer SRF3. I think that makes it technically a different hub to the old ones (Sturmey is a new company now), but very similar in reality. Not an expert on this though. It is a great hub and perfect for most of the riding I do, would just prefer a little more low end range for long loaded days.

  • @mdcc_tester will know more. As far as I'm aware the new hubs are even compatible with the old shifters etc
