Did those kaffenbacks with the sliders really have dropouts that changed the spacing down to 120mm?
Pretty special if so.
Also a pricey feature I’d imagine.
Dunno what the last version was priced like but I’m pretty sure I paid £99 for my Pomp which is about what Paragon Machine charge for a set of swappable dropout plates plus 1 set of inserts and they won’t change the spacing.

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.
