The head tube on the xl is 32mm longer than the large. Be sure there's enough spacers and check the stack height to be sure it'll fit. On one are selling the brown fork for £30.

This is how spacer-tastic it was when I had it on my pomp

Gunna buy a new pomp frame. I'm 6ft 1inch. Would I be needing a large or extra-large?

Drops?

Depends, I'm that height and would go for XL, I have quite a large inseam.

Off topic: Sad to say, after 4 Pomps (yep!), I will be switching to a Dolan track for polo duty!

Think I may plum for the extra large cos although i'm 6 ft 1 ive never bought anything 'extra-large' in my life and it sounds masculine

for reference this is my XL set up, I am 6ft 3in. I reckon you will still have loads of step over room at 6ft 1in.

Thanks upstart, the day these turned up my LBS had some 'damaged' Cube forks (they had been dropped and the drop out closed a bit) for £10, longer steerer so this is how it looks now with some nice wheels finished too. Such a laugh to ride, like a big BMX!!

Any reason why a Kinesis PureCX fork wouldn't fit a Pompino frame?

Should fit fine.

I'm looking at that as a possible fork for mine. I think the only downside it it will look BEEFCAKE against the pomp's relatively thin tubing.

I prefer the straight legs over curved ones (but don't really feel like paying £200+ for Easton forks or the like) I haven't been able to find any pictures of a Pompino built with PureCX forks though - which lead to my concern regarding compatibility issues...

Aesthetically I think the All City Nature Boy forks look the best on a pomp. Straight and thin and steel but it seems to be hard to get in the UK, you need to get one of eBay from the US for about £100.

Hello DK,
I might have a All City Nature Boy fork for you, Buts its lime green ?
How much streerer do you need ?
I've got some blue pompino forks for sale - they were on my large so not sure on the steerer length, but had plenty of spacers going on. Can measure if you're interested. £10
