For Sale: On One - Il Pompino - Complete Bike

My brother has asked me to put his bike up for sale on the forum: It is a one year old On-One Il Pompino. It has had just the one careful owner and has only been ridden around the gentle Worcestershire countryside.

Click here for a Flickr Photo Download: PICT0244. The complete spec is as follows:

• Large, 54cm Il Pompino steel frame.
  
• Rear Mavic Open Pro laced to a double fixed On-One hub, with 17t and 20t sprockets. With chain tugs both sides.
  
• Front Planet-X rim laced to an On-One hub.
  
• Truvative crank set and chain ring, currently no pedals since everyone likes a different flavour.
  
• Avid Shorty 4 cantilever brakes; not the stock ones which are rubbish.
  
• Planet-X saddle, seat post and stem.
  
• On-One carbon fibre fork.
  
  
  

He is looking for 250 GN for the complete bike - a steal :-)

BTW, if you didn't already know, 'Il Pompino' is Italian slang for 'blowjob'.

ah i saw this on your flickr and got confused. i though you'd joined the CTC.

tis a bargain though.

How's the elbibow mashton?

The elbow is comung along nicely, but it's still frustratingly slow. It's an odd feeling for your ambition to be to straighten your arm!

not being able to straighten one's arm rules out many pleasurable activities.

s'true, but in the interest of my brother's sale, can we refrain from turning this into a wanking thread?!

Btw, well done on Ventoux, i want to hear all about it soon - a beer sometime?

how big's it?

It's a 54cm compact to fit 5'9 to 6'1 ish. My bro is just about six foot...

sounds great, and i am in your gang now. i am not the one person who voted that you were a 'big glittery paedo'.

no that was me, although I'm sure mash isn't a paedo, I voted in the interest of parity in order to help test the poll.

pompinos a decent bike, only decent thing on-one make.

I would really like that bike. Do I have to go to Worcesterchershireland to get it? Is that on the tube?

I need to talk to my financial advisor/wife first, so I won't be able to put in an offer 'till the weekend. But definitely, potentially interested.

No need to travel, it is right here in WC1 :-)

Fakenger35 has first bids, assuming that his bank manager / wife is friendly enough. But, in case she isn't then feel free to express your undying need to own this beauty.

my offer was before his :(

@Fakenger35. Damn, I missed a PM from Dogs that predates your post. Watch this space.

is it about speed or need?

That's cool. I can't make an offer yet; dogsballs has first dibs

OK, Dale has snapped it up, sorry F35.

If it makes you feel any better, I have just discovered that it has a worn left crank.

dale will flip it.

:)

he'll sell it.

it's not as good as mine:

spec includes:

two different headset cups and parts, both fucked.
20 year old front tyre (OOS not NOS)
mtb inner tubes (you gotta streeeeetch it baby)
