On One Pompino owners...

This is what I have so far.

Any suggestions on making it cheaper?

especially the front hub, it needs to be disc brake compatible obviously but it also needs to be solid axle for the rack to attach to. I was trying to keep this build around the £600 mark.

Any hub made for a 9mm diameter skewer plus this axle:

Or this hub already comes with that axle:

Could probably save £15 of the seatpost pretty easily.

If you're really going for cheap, a Shimano FC-S500 crankset is about £50 less than the On-One and comes with a stylish chainguard for that day to day parcticality

You could get a good crankset 2nd hand on here for about £60

Aye, these are by no means the final parts, just stuff I've looked at to get a rough idea of the cost of this build. I'll be trying to source as many of the components cheap /second hand for sure.

Perfect!

Front disc brake wheel, I have this on my pompetamine. I've got 700x25 tyres on it, I dont think 23s would stay on the rim.

Way cheaper than a build, and the wheel has been good to me.

I was tempted that for my rat bike but then went with lightly used fulcrum 29er wheel with 6 bolt instead as I wanted to steer clear of proprietary Centre-Lock rotor mount ..

I wanted to too, but I picked up six centre lock rotors for a fiver each, so it made sense to get the wheel.

propitiatory Centre-Lock rotor mount ..

this means nothing to me.

I have zero experience with disc brakes.

The 6 bolt one just screws into an ISO hub. This is what most disc brake wheels have.

The centrelock one is a shimano one, they pop on and you tighten a cap on it with a cassette lock tool.

Might be a little clearer if proprietary was spelled correctly.

ahh I see. I reckon I'll go for a 6 bolt.

This is where I'm at, just need to choose a brake and then work out ways to get all this stuff cheaper.

Where does £20 powder coating?!

there's a place in manchester, to be honest it's probably more than that, ive not actually checked yet.

Chicago coatings, Ashton under lyne - £20 a frameset blasting included, used by lots of people.

can i ask why TB14 rims?

I wanted something wide and low profile, I like the look of TB14's but I'm open to cheaper/similar options. This build is a way off yet, so I have time to look at other options.

Mavic A319?

your current setup minus spokes and build is at £160, why not just get an OTP 29er wheelset? It will be cheaper. Dunno if you want to make this a nice build or budget build ..

Mavic A319?

aha cheers!

Mavic A319?

porky close to 600 grams but yeah, cheap.

budget but I dont want it to look like shit.

To be honest I have zero experience building anything other than a track bike so I'm learning as I go along. I'll have a look at some 29er wheelsets.

cheers.
