On One Pompino owners...

New, fatter tyres and new bars for my Pomp. Really enjoying this at the moment. My road bike is gathering dust!

anyone got an old pompino in the states, size small, to sell? or is my best bet planet-x?

That's very cool! I like that loads.

I've just picked up a kona paddy wagon and plan to do this sorta thing with it for commuting and such

Oh nice! Those Konas are great, always fancied one. Yeah it's a really fun set up for commuting/getting about on. I'm half tempted to slap some drop bars on it if I can get the bits I need cheap. Although I do like the fact that it's pretty different to my All City as it stands. Maybe both of my bikes having drops would be less fun.

Picked this pomp up from @Chalfie last summer to build as a parts bin commuter, WIP but its had some guises.

Looks good!

good one. genesis fork that is, right?

This is great. 2 disc brake pomps with Brixton Brewery stickers on the same page as well. 2023's hottest bike trend.

Thanks! Yeah, nabbed from an old Croix De Fer

I've only just clocked, this is brilliant. Can't not take at least a handful of em when you're in there.

Any idea what the fattest 650 tyres you can fit in the back of a pomp are? Much difference over 700 or are you limited by the clearance at the chainstays?

I had 650x43mm on my Pompetamine with room to spare. 48mm should be doable without mudguards.

Hmm, I've got 700x38 with guards in there at the moment (just). Definitely keen to keep the mudguards so probably not worth the expense and hassle for a slight increase.

And I do need to stop messing about and spending money on bikes which are already excellent.

Fair enough. Welcome to try mine for size if you like.

Also, what is your bar/stem combo?

That's really kind of you to offer, thanks! I'll leave it for now though. I really shouldn't be messing about with what was meant to be a budget build.
The bars are Bontrager Satellite, they're a really nice shape and weren't too pricey. I was tempted by the Ritchey Kyote but they were twice the price. The stem is a handmade M_V special!

Yeah Mulo frame would be the easiest..even if the colour is shit..

Quite fancy a 5th or 6th iteration of a Pompino. Any selling a L or XL?

.

The mulo is nearly finished, just need to sort the brake out

Nice!

hi does anyone know of a budget straight blade fork that would fit a M Pompino V4 please ?

That mulo looks great.

If they just had disc brake tabs on the back and were spaced 130-135....

I found that a bit odd that they went cantis over disc. Also, there were disc brake prototypes for sale on their outlet eBay account.

Get and Omnium CXC instead?
