Yeah Woody man, I am tempted by the Pompino. I'd just rather not ride 700s, I'm quite crashy and they just don't stand up to a beating like a 26 or smaller does. I'd have to get all the rest of the bike anyway as there's not much worth keeping on my current bike. It's only a question of time and money though!
Really good point, i have enojyed being on 26inch wheels,. so much cheaper to get the parts for, get so many cheap good quality secodn hand oens without the hiptster tax for, and stand up to a beating. whats the RIC frame like?
