Does anyone run their pomp with a pannier rack? If so, which rack do you use? Can it take any standard rack or does it need to be narrower?
Cheers

Any rack will be fine.

I find mine is too short in the rear for a rack, well, for the panniers anyway. My heels clip them.

I'm gonna put a lowrider on the front and run front panniers.

Either a different rack with a lower mounting point, and/or a different panniers that have a bigger range of adjustment to move it further away from your heel will sort it out.

It's ok with my Vaude pannier but I also have some that are held on with elastic ares hooks at the bottom and these sit at angle and pull pannier forward and stuff. I think front will be better and I like stuff at front do camera is easier to get to etc.

Yes but it is tiny.

Yeah it was the same for me when I looked first. Only I look at it now and I see it massive three times?!

http://www.lfgss.com/post3518163-2702.html never got round to taking a photo of this one myself before it got passed on. Sm glow in the dark polo pomp, much fun had.

The Kaffenback might give you a hint of what the new Pompino might look;

Looks very good, I'm thinking about the new pomp just so I can have something with a brake, largish tyres and mudguards for longer wet weather rides.

The would let me keep the seta as a slave/track bike and the brooklyn as a commuter/off road.

Add brake and mudguard to BMW instead? it's not like you can't wack a disc fork on it.

that's what I got mine for, except I use it for all wet weather rides. I'm a mudguard lover now.

brooklyn as a commuter/off road.

But that is exactly what a Pompino is for. Off road and commuting.

Just came across this pic by chance and thought what a great build it looked.

Would it be a pain to ask for a brief run through some of the components you have used? I'm looking for inspiration and I'm strugling to find good wheels, bottom braket, chain ring and cranks.

Wheels look like Mavic A319 / A719 with black spokes and System X/similar hubs.

Nature Boy fork, [incorrect brake lever guess], Tektro mini-v brake, Time ATAC pedals, SKS Chromoplastic mudguards...

Looks a bit like SRAM cranks/chainring, could be mistaken though.

sram s500 levers.

Do they do s500 in black?

Yes

I see. Will put my glasses on/spend more time Google-ing next time

Thanks all.

I want some wheels like that, anyone care to recommend a decent builder or source?

Buy the hubs online - either on-one if they're still cheap or where ever else you can find systemX hubs.

Rims wherever online where ever is cheapest. Other options are:
KinLin ADH from hubjub c.£30 each; or
Rigida from SJS or that other shop with green logos.
Velocity Dyad (although they have a low profile V-shape rather than box-like)
ACI Spokes from cyclebasket

PM Arup on here to ask about building.

Other options are looking at Halo.
