A picture taken yesterday.....I finally faced repairing the Pompino after a particularly nasty smash last month with a Volvo XC90 - plus the first nice day of 2010!

Let's just say the Volvo didn't come off well, I'm sure needing a lot more cash to fix than the Pomp'!
I can vouch for the sheer strength of the frameset as although my (perfectly broken in) Brooks Swift was trashed and several other new bits were needed, it was COMPLETELY undamaged, not even a scratch!
It now has a lovely B17 Narrow seat, plus I got my LBS laced up some Mavic A319's for me with Token SB track hubs and DT Swiss spokes which are about
10000% better than the nasty wheels that I took from the Tricross.
