did you swap/sell this?

Not yet mate. You interested?

would be interest in frame and headset , need to get rid of a frame/bike first. I'll pm you if i get rid of something soon.

I need to replace my drops for either flat or northroad bar... or something what can anyone recommend?

Should work

Should work, fork needs to be drilled tho

This seems like the best place to ask - I'm thinking about getting an Octane One Kode because I'm fed up of commuting on aluminium and want moar clearance.

How are you getting on with yours @aka / @Rodolfo ? Any pics of them built up?

Did the small work out for you in the end @Rodolfo ?

nice but pricey (for chromoly)

you like obscure bikes/stuff, as a seasoned #buyer I was offended that I had NEVER heard/seen these bikes.

Ha. It's hard to find something which ticks the clearance/steel/disc brakes in future/vertical drop outs/looks OK boxes now that the Pompino has been discontinued (and a load of other options are also not around now). CRC have 10% off them and I can get another 10% off with my BC membership, so could be worse.

Either way it's a LOT cheaper than a Tempo with a disc fork which wouldn't take more than 28mm tyres...

CdF?

Omnium cxc would be my choice, I want one for this winter

Bombtrack Arise 2

^thats what I'd buy if I didn't already have a pompino and a pompetamine

I had one and sold it because I didn't get on with the geometry! Not fixed/SS specific though, wrong dropouts. The Kode has rear facing horizontal drop outs plus a removable derailleur hanger...

Looks nice but only seems to be available from Denmark and is more expensive than the Kode?

Hmm, this is interesting. I like that it has sliding dropouts, my gargantuan power* means that I constantly end up with a slack chain so that's an attractive feature. I'm pretty sure my friendly LBS can also order in Bombtrack bikes, I will go away and do some reading!

*or weak cyclist arms

Haven't built it up yet. Will drop it off at a sandblasters somewhere this month to really emulate the V4 raw substitute.
Sizing looks good for me (when sizing it up to my other frames) but I like my frames low due to having short legs and related groin clearance.
Sizing table is quite elaborate with stack and reach and all that jazz. I decided the old skool way of juggling head- top- and seattube lengths.

Scratched that due to horizontal TT and being inbetween sizing

They were on clearance on a French website, BMX avenue iirc

Btw look into the frames of crc bikes. They have a vertical dropout eccentric bb frame. I believe @psee had nightmares with the pf44(?) BB but they also sell it with a fitting eccentric bb.
Dunno how those fare with fixed though.

Couldn't look beyond the bad paint job.
BMX avenue also had them on clearance

Yeah I'm typically a 55, which is frustrating
