Looks loads better with the longer stem. I had a Pompino for a while and really enjoyed it. I only replaced it with something that fits me a bit better. Maybe different tyres would make it feel a bit more lively? Marathons are great for puncture protection but they're really heavy, slow and dull in my (limited) experience.

This is how the Pompino looks now. I gave it a good clean / grease / checking over, treated it to a new chain, and then got rid of the clutter:
I didn't like how it the position or the aesthetics with the BMX stem, so replaced it with a longer stem and wider bars. I still don't really get on with it though - it feels indestructible esp with the Schwalbe Marathons and is a good round town, lock up and leave bike but I don't know, just a bit too functional for me.
