Been riding about today, down to Romeo and Giulietta for that dreamy dark chocolate and lemon combo
Pompino is annoyingly good, as someone who’s used to chopping and changing their bike all the time for the last 2 years I have no reason too. It just does it all, perfect London bike, perfect gearing, perfect position, looks great, bags great, tyres are good.
I think once it’s aged a bit more it’ll also be fine to leave locked up for the shops, which is really the only nit pick I have. Think I prefer it being a bit nicer overall as it’s the only bike I get to ride, acceptable trade off
Think realistically could just ride this and the homer? Be fine?
I guess it makes the third bike harder to justify really, realistically, I see myself taking the parts I like most off it, parts I like most off the other, replacing the parts with whatever is to hand
The cockpit is exceptional, the levers, although no deore, have grown on me, and I have to say it, the alvios? Like them better than the mini motos, great brakes, look hot.
Should help shape the new bike a bit, a lock anywhere but enjoyable parts bin pompino, a single speed homer, and the. This new one? Swept bar?? V brakes?? Big tyre???
Sure there will be significantly more chin scratching to come
@Hulsroy this looks excellent…. If only it had more stand over and taller….., reminds me of both the stooge mentioned and also that mixte soma gravel bike. Both excellent, your little one is going to be a lucky kid!
@josh yes, I actually really like the bike, you’d never know how much I moan about it; I’m informed it was a PITA to build, so best not to have it redistributed
