On One Pompino owners...

this bike is gonna be rad!

A Pompino based SSCX is many things, but radical isn't one of them

Maybe not dictionary definition radical. But it will be muchos fun.

and ugly ;)

@ all to gget them ti fit? Nice pom.

On my bike?

and you have to cut the stays to the correct length.

what forks are they?

Kona P2s

I've finally finished my Pompino! it was rideable within a week of starting the build but, after a two hour wrestle with the mudguards last night, its done.

On that point, I will never fit another mudguard again. What sociopathic bastard designed those then?

Did anybody else have to trim the stays a lot for their chromoplastics? Those things totaled my hacksaw.

Using wide p35s which might be a bit overkill for the vittoria randonneur 700x32 tires that came with the full build.

Use the cable cutter bits on a pair of pliers to mark the stay then two pairs of pliers to bend back n forth at the mark and snap.

I found the cutting fairly straight forward with a junior hacksaw.

It's all the micro adjustment after that caused me to lose the will to live.
(700x28 tyres are at the stated max for the guards though)

Yeah, I found em pretty easy to cut with a junior hacksaw. Taken mine off today to fit the new tyres the wife got me for Christmas. Time for some fixed off road fun.

That bike is a fucking stunner

what tyres are they, they're hawwwt

Cheers

Tyres are Challenge Limus

50 each owch!

Yeah but I get em trade so 50 the pair + the vodka and tonic. Still pretty spendy tho

Limus are 30ish each at Ribble, I'm considering getting some.

Chris Borneo, where did you get the extension thing for the front mudguard screw please?

My dad made it but I've also seen one of these used.

Fitting my 3rd set, I caved and bought some bolt cutters. Makes it super quick.
