On One Pompino owners...

Tempting ain't it.

I couldn't help it - I placed my order last night. My Raleigh Winner is about to be retired I think.

Pretty excited to buy the extra parts this month... just need a few ebay auctions to come through.

I'm tempted and I already have one.

Must not buy 29er...

Tell me again why I don't need a fat bike.

Crazy fool.

Why don't you need a fatbike?

Inbred 29er SS better deal than pompino I think...

I'm not sure what to do with my pompino, I picked the wrong bars and had a shitty mudguard snap off and scratch the back of the seattube on almost first ride so just gone off it.

If anybody is interested in an inbred I'm disassembling mine soon and transferring all of it to a fargo (which I'm very excited about). I've got two sets of rigid forks and a ss converter and some small chainrings which could work out rather nice (and has when I ran in ss).

great looking rig @Xavonseine!

Size n dropouts?

Hi there, regarding On One's steel frames (Pomps & Inbred, built with "DN6", On One's multi butted 4130 chromoly steel), I have discovered an interesting thread on the mtbr forum where Brant, On One's co-founder, states :

"Our tubing comes from a company called Founderland in Taichung, Taiwan. Off the same lines, the same material, the same dies, everything, Reynolds have Founderland put the same tubing into boxes with "Reynolds 520" on it. Surly use the same tube company for their tubing, but their frames are built at another company from ours - the one we used to use, and moved for purely business (not quality) reasons."

Would you know if almost 10 years' later, this information is still up to date?

I'm sure my Pomp (bought in spring 2012) didn't say DN6 on it. I think it just said 4130 "Aircraft Grade" or something...

Now I notice they definitely say DN6.

Did you guys realise that the word "pompino" in italian means blowjob?

Ah, life can be tough and a Pompino is a great reward!

Regarding the DN6 reference, it dates at least from 2007 for the Inbred, not sure On One used it for the Pomps then?

The whole lot's crafted from On-One's proprietary DN6 chromoly tubeset, which - in true On-One tongue-in-cheek style - takes its name from the unique brand's warehouse postcode.

Dn6 actually refers to the poscodeof their old warehouse.
Sorry I didn't properly read the above post!!!

Rep.

Possible spam: I'm selling a full carbon cross fork (canti) from off of my fetching baby blue pompino (size medium).
I've not got the steerer tube length to hand, but i'm after the princely sum of 50 quid.

anyone?

I think I see a L-Pomp in my very near future, that 199 deal is too good to pass up really. Still dislike that fork though but ah well.

How are these things riding fixed? Pedal strike and what-not.

I ride my (size medium) pomp fixed, with 165mm cranks and shimano mtb spd pedals.

No particular issues with pedal strike and I flippin love it, great ride and a versatile bike. Go for it.

I second Cupcakes comments. I have a large also with 165 mm cranks and spd pedals. Even with guards I only get pedal strike if I twist the bars far while stationary, never occurred riding.

Medium here with 170mm alfine cranks, loads of toe overlap with guards on but its okay once you get used to it.

Without guards it was fine, didn't notice it racing cross anyway.

As for pedal strike in corners etc, never been an issue for me riding fixed. I should've probably got a large too but the medium lets me get a lower handlebar.

I'll definitely be getting a Large, awesome sounds like they've got a good rep.

Oi oi,

Back on here for the first time in almost two years. Shame on me. Anyway, finally getting my polo pomp up and running propa again and first stop is the crank. Love this guys set up from the 1st page though he appears to be inactive now, any idea what crank & drive that is? Would be looking for similar.. I annihilated my previous one by calculating the chain-line wrong :/

Iirc Matt rode sugino 75s.

Isn't that a little $$$ for Polo?
I'd go with whatever cheap 165mm crankset I could find. Judging from the pic its a 110mm bcd which is no bad idea, since you'll want to mound chainrings smaller than 39t on your polobike...
