Dear forumungers,
I'm looking for some advice. Building up an On-one Pompino to use as a bit of an all rounder. It will need to do a cross London commute of 20 miles/day 2-3 times a week and double as an occasional training bike too (winter trainer/commuter come the bad weather). Planning to have a spare set of wheels one for the commuting and a ligher weight set for the road training. Will be running it fixed/free (never ridden fixed before but intend giving it a go but want the option to swap back).
I have been looking at chainsets but not really sure what to go for, any recommendations for a reasonably lightweight but durable chainset that would fit the bill and what type of bb to pair it with - the Pompino takes a 68mm english threaded but again not sure of the options and the pro's and con's of any options including what to consider in terms of chainline etc...
