On One Pompino owners...

I'm currently without employment so buying one bike to cannibalise and a frame may be a bit tricky (although I had considered it previously) basically, I think if I can get a second hand frame with headset, bb and cranks for about £100 I can do it

Slack chain, but really nice.

It does look a bit like a cartoon dog skidding to a stop though. Everything's tilting backwards.

Chain is not that slack. It makes it easier to change tube without having to use tools to loosen the chaintensioner. I haven't dropped the chain ever.
Forks are a bit long making everything tilt back. Seat tube and head tube are now 72 degrees. But I don't mind it at all. It still feels fast and descends very nicely. Saddle should be tilted a bit forwards, but I haven't noticed anything while riding.
Anyways it's a race bike not a looker. Who cares it's cheap and fun

Yeah, I wasn't criticising it, just pointing it out. Looks like great fun, and like it's being used properly. Unlike my poor Pompetamine, sitting unused in a shed despite being an absolute joy to ride.

subscribing to this.

I'm sure someone's done it already but:
shimano hollowtech cranks on hollowtech BB with formula hub and shimano freewheel.

Any massive problems with chainline using the outer ring mount?

(and chain tensioners right?)

OH my dear god

I just searched 'pompino' in google images looking for pictures of pomps.

DO NOT do that at work or any other public place.

new pompino options and frames on the PX website. that blue is a nice colour

^ look like the same old to me??

Probably not quite as bad as forgetting to type the 'r' when searching for pictures of Gary Oldman.

Is that the kinesis pure cx fork?

No, its Leopard custom CX-1 if I remember it right.

A pure CX fork looks like this on a pomp .. taken from my soon to be completed build.

Just pulled the trigger on an XL Pompino for SSCX racing this winter. Plan is to get a respray off James1234 of this parish, so should look a little different to the current glut of Pompinos.

Hmmm...does James1234 offer his services commercially? Is there a thread?

He has a thread. He's very much a commercial enterprise, drop him a PM.

I pulled the trigger a few weeks and have very much enjoyed building mine up and the couple of times I have ridden it. Any ideas on colour + forks yet?

can anyone recommend a fairly cheap but still decent disc wheelset for a Pompetamine? My girlfriend is looking to pick one up to use as a commuter.

(also recommendations on disc brakes too)

Probably a dark pearl grey. Might go for something a bit more ostentatious, I'm undecided.

Probably the cheapest option with decent stopping power:

cheers.

Yeah would be singlespeed.

Also worth a look. Better hubs, similar quality rims

cheers. I'll check them out.

Do no one make singlespeed disc hubs? or do you always have to usen a spacer kit?
