Have to agree with @dement, my Pomp has been a mountain bike, a touring bike, a commuter, a polo bike and is now a road bike ands done all that without 650 wheels or disc brakes.
Ok, ok it’s probably had a front disc at some point but (IMO) dick breaks + 120mm spacing don’t mix and 135mm spacing + fixed use don’t mix very well or very easily.
I think part of what’s great about the Pomp is that it’s not bang up to date, on trend or whatever. It’s basic, it’s cheap, it’s functional, it’s timeless. Mine’s as useful now as when I bought it probably close to a decade ago.
