^^Sounds like you'll be fighting a losing battle. A bonkers, losing battle.
On a completely different note, I never realised how high the bb on the Pompino was.
Been riding freewheel since I got it but want to go fixed now. Was worried about pedal strike so when I measured 11 3/4" bb height today (some unbranded touring fork and 35 or 38c World Tour tyres) I was nicely surprised.
I suppose it'd not actually that different a note, I'm shedding weight from mine too. Taken the Basil rack off (will go on my three speed Puch) and replaced it with a Blackburn MTF. Swapped the heavy hybrid fork for the lighter touring one and ditched the front brake. Swapped pedals from DMR V8s to SPDs.
