On One Pompino owners...

I know, which is why I was surprised he said he'd never seen it before.

They're bullshitting or the guy is replying according to personal experience. It's a known flaw but it looks like they're trying to hide it so that they can keep flogging their cheap frames.

Heard nothing from them since last Wednesday. Just sent a prod via email. Fingers crossed.

Just give them a call.

or start a thread/PM over on MTBR.

how XL is the XL pompino? anyone around the 6'5" mark got a build pic?

6'3" and I ride the XL with a 110mm stem and drops. Sometimes think about getting a 120mm stem, but it is comfortable enough for riding round town.

A bit over 8kg

In a bit of a money need so will probably sell it. Let me know if intrested.

looks really, good, further validating my desire for a CX bike

I like that. similar to mine, but now you've got me thinking about a paintjob.

I've been riding my new pomp around for less then two weeks and already have my paintjob planned.

^ Those Alpina forks with canti mounts look the business. Can I ask where you got them from and how much?

Alpina full carbon looks nice but a bit pricey:

Kinesis is always worth a look when fork shopping

Yikes - those Alpinas are expensive!

The Kinesis alternative is a good one - thanks for the link. Gives a weight saving of over 700g against the standard pomp fork. Sorely tempted.

Got the Alpina fork for a bargain at Dolan's ebay store.

PM me if anybody is intrested in the bike.

Sweet!

HI Steve

Please return the frame to us so that we can replace this under warranty for you.

When returning the frame please can you do so with our on-line returns form.

When we have received back your item i will let you know straight away

Kind regards

Do they cover postage? What about the cost of replacing the headset and stuff?

So, I'm being offered a replacement frame, which will be a 2012 version. They currently only have the blue in medium and so they are offering to sell me a matching fork for £20 and arrange collection etc.

Sounds reasonable to me. Only problem is that I'm out of the country as of Saturday and I doubt very much that I'll have time to get this sorted before I go :/

Sounds reasonable enough. 2012 Pomp forks are around £40 on the On-One website. Good luck getting things sorted in time...

How long does On-One's warranty extend?

2 year warranty on frames, not sure on the rest of their products.

I'd like a Pompino as a commuting, riser barred, mud guard wielding all rounder.

Fortunately I have most parts required for the build from a box of tricks in my garage. I have a set of 700c wheels from a geared cyclocross bike. Would I be able to use these as a ss system on a Pompino, and if so, what do I need to do it ?

Cheers

The spacing would be an issue, should really use a 120mm hub.

Steve are you up in Birmingham?

Probably just a SS kit, with spacers and a chain tensioner. Surly make a good kit (singulator?) As A&P says, might have a problem with spacing on that hub as it'll likely be 135mm (pomp is approx 120/122.5mm)

Steve are you up in Birmingham?

Nearly, I'm in Coventry.

Won't need a tensioner, you could cold set the frame to take the larger hub, but you'd be better off getting a different wheel.
