The wheels look 700c to me. It also looks like massive fun.

Does something clever happen with flipping for the rear wheel? Can you run it SS with second brake hooked up?

Yeah, wheels are 700c. Halo Aerowarriors laced onto Hope Pro2 Evo hubs. Rear is the single speed/trials one with quick take up. I'm running a Velosolo bolt on cog at the moment but got plans to run single speed with a rear disc in the future and there's also the possibility of running a 6 speed setup using part of a 9 speed cassette, so pretty versatile.

Not a lot tbf mate, I've always ridden mtb's but been looking to get something a bit more road oriented for a while, even before my bike was stolen. I'm looking to build on a relatively small budget and heard both were reliable steel road/track style frames. What would the advantages be of each?
Cheers mate, sorry for the lack of knowledge :)

If you're coming from mountain bikes and looking to get something a bit more road friendly, you could do a lot worse than check out the Pompino or Pompetamine. I've had my Pompetamine for a year now and It's been one of the best bikes I've owned. The geo is really nice on the road and they're really versatile. I have a friend who does quite a bit of light off road on one with CX tyres. Also they're not made in the UK but they're a UK based company which I think is cool.

Hey Chris y u no post ur newly stealth Pompetamine in the Pomp thread?

It's fuckin' tumbleweedin' in there man!!

Exactly why I didn't. :)

Sorry, I just liked it so much before.

Maybe some stickers will help.

Ha ha, If I'm honest, it was only when I posted the before and after pics in here that I realised how rad it looked before. Really was getting too ratty tho. I'm really diggin the batman black now but like you said, it needs some stickers and that bar tape. What can I say. I did a fail :)
