On One Pompino owners...

@matsa Mine is a medium as well and that dc37 looks very nice thanks for the info. @Heldring also thanks for the info on the Thorn forks. Definitely will give one of these a go. Cheers guys.

Not sure if this interests anyone but Large and Small are on offer for 175 https://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/FROOPV4/on-one-pompino-v4-frameset

It's a lot easier to reduce toe overlap by fitting shorter cranks.

I've got a model sketched up in a cad tool but the published V4 geo is missing the dimensions I'd need to work it out: https://www.on-one.co.uk/c/q/bikes/urban-bikes/pompino#tab-size

Very true. I do have 170 cranks on there because I got em cheap.. guess I could look out for some 165s

Sorry for the spam - I'm stripping down a Large Pompetamine to sell as I never use it if anyone is looking.
Would rather pass it on to someone on here who'll appreciate it than put it on eBay...

Tempted..pm'ed

Anyone got an XL they're selling by any chance?

Also did they not do an xl v4 or did they just stop selling it after a while? It's on the geo chart

They did, as I had one until a BMW wrote it off 😤

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.

Just had a reply from Planet X about Pompino XL:

Unfortunately those have been discontinued, there will be no further
stock of the Pompino frames I'm afraid. The nearest we'd now have is
the Holdsworth La quelda.

no pompino frames anymore never?

im still looking for a medium v4 peepz. roll up!

Is this the end of the pompino? Surely collectors item in the future

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.

RIP pompino :-(

That Holdsworth thing doesn't look remotely as versatile

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

#RIP the blowjob

Wow that's big news.

Looking forward to the second-hand price going the way of Brooklyn frames ;)

It'll be interesting see what becomes new stock currency when somebody buys an expensive steel singlespeed frame.

They won't be able to say You could buy 5 pompino's for that much anymore.

'You could buy 5 Holdsworth La Queldas for that' doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

Maybe used Pompino (Pompinii?) will become really sought after and soon people will offer Pomp for sale for silly money and someone will say "You could buy 5 Brooklyns for that".

Or not.

Pompini is bang on.

Ta for both posts. I'll measure spacing on the old hubs, if they fit 135mm frame I'd guess they should work.
