2009 Pompino

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 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.

Glad to hear you came off ok, im looking to set up a recently purchased second hand pompino (waiting for its arival) in a similar way to yours for a lejog and some other touring this summer. The bike looks fantastic, a real work horse! if i get the funds together to build a set of wheels before hand a pair of 36h a319's would be right up there on my list, meant to be great value for money
