Fat enough to be comfortable. 45c with guard would be nice.
I’m a bit pompano averse as all my mates who had them never rated them/said they felt joyless to ride.
My siblings have kindly offered to chip in for a frame/bike so I’m keen to find something that I’ll hang onto. Have to admit that despite wanting something new and reliable, the v1 gangsta track (despite not really fitting my needs) is very tempting lol.

Ah! I loved my pomp before it got nicked - think i had 38c on them at the time with raceblades, silly-wide bars and all.

45c with guards sounds like quite a lot.
Was going to say a cross check, but that wouldn't do anything like that size.

I'm a big fan of my Pompino! It's great fun set up with 38c tyres and sweepy risers. I've not ridden any other similar fat tyred fixed gears though so don't have anything to compare to. What about a Genesis Day One?

Don’t know about with guards but my Day One comfortably fits 700x40 with generous mud clearance. Keep meaning to see if I can squeeze in larger.
I tried 650x47 (wtb senderos) in my CDF and they only just fit - would be the same in a Day One as it’s the same frame.Day one is fun, fixed with big tyres. I’ve got OG V2s on at the moment and it’s nice and cruisey.

how fat is fat? something like a pompino or the new version worth a look?
else a Day One (or Brixton for all of the mounting points) perhaps?
