What size pompino should I get?

Posted on
  • i checked the other thread about this but it didn't help me much as it seemed to be about giants getting XL's. I'm about 5'10 and am trying to decide between a small or medium. i've had a go on a medium and that felt really good but have never had a go on a small and wonder whether that would fit me better. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
    cheers Robbie

  • I think Wicksie has a small, is she going to be at the Bristol tourney? I would've thought the medium would be right for you though, did you find your mtb frame too big/too small ?

  • my sister (5"7 ish maybe) has a medium which fits her perfectly and it fits me fine (maybe 5ft6), small would be way too small i think, as when i rode the medium it felt even a little on the small side.

    adrienne might have a small? i think small would be way to little if i am correct in thinking she has a small. pm her maybe to ask? lalou on here.

  • you buying brand new or second hand Robbie?

  • I have a medium. You're defo too big for a small. Mine is for sale soon if you're interested. Not sure If I'm coming to Bristol though.

  • Hey Rob, just to confound you more, I'm 6" on the dot but I have short legs (it's true, what can I say) and I ride a large Pompino with the seatpost cranked up. I would say a Small is definitely not suitable, a medium will be good if you want it a little on the compact side.

    My main advice is to buy second hand although give it a good look over before you hand over the cash, especially around the rear triangle. I'd never pay full price for a Pompino again, even though they are mega cheap. Five have broken in the polo scene in the last year.

    a crack on my chainstay suggests im going to be the 6th, but that is after 4 years of commuting/tricks/polo. maybe this isn't an issue with the new pomps..?

  • Medium...

  • Medium...
    And to confirm, I'm a gentile lady who doesn't skid, hop or crash and the frame is quite new.

    Defo 2nd hand for polo.

    Depends if they are still doing the fix and mix deal, that was really worth it.

  • Medium...

  • Medium it is!
    thanks for all the help guys and will have a snoop around fleabay and the rest of the internet later. Wicksie i'm definitely interested if your selling, i'll pm you a little later on!

  • Defo selling.

    i've heard about this before. What exactly am i looking for? will there just be an obvious crack near the dropouts?

  • The seatstay seems to be the weak point of the pomps, although Horatio's seems to have been torn apart at the seams!

    There may be a difference in:
    Size of bike/player
    intensity played polo with
    other uses of bike.
