Thought I'd do a bit of a thread for this. Picked up a very cheap Pompino that looks likes it's had more hard days sat in the rain than it has being ridden around. My plan is to strip it down, angle grind all the unwanted bits off it, add a disk fork, give it a rattle can paint job, throw some mudguards on and ride it to work when the weather sucks.
Here's a pic of how I picked it up. It looks even worse in the flesh. I'd hoped to be able to sell some of the unwanted bits, but most of it is rusted/seized to shit. My first major problem is a very stuck seat post. I've been umming and ahhing over caustic soda or cut it out. Think I've settled on the latter. First substantive update will be progress on that....
