Crosseur, Traitor (was Pimpetamine)

What chain is that anyway? Can't find anything decent in 3/32 in gold.

Kmc chains?

I found your thread!! Nice pompetamine :)

thanks, I'm sorry I didn't have time to find a link for you at the time. :)

I found my position a bit too stretched out so have swapped the frame for a medium.
rebuild is awaiting free time and a seat post as the old one was nicked together with saddle and tool roll.

I love the fork on this.
Has it continued to work well?

Its not snapped and you've not died?

I have changed the frame and purpose of the bike.
The for keeps going strong and seems as solid as ever.

This project has gone to shit now. :(
I swapped the frame to a smaller pompetamine, but found it way too low.
I then bought a cheap full bike for the frame, swapped components and sold off Pomp with the components. Only to find out that the new frame would not take my chainset, looked ugly at the fork assembly.
I have squashed the chainstay to within an inch (rather a few mm) of it's life, but still no joy.

So basically; I'm out of pocket and still need a frame for this.

So if anybody have suggestions or pointers for something that will get me going again for very cheap, likely second hand, let me know, please!

Do you want to sell the fork?

Haha. no.

What size pompetamine do you need?

the reach of a medium and the stack of a large...

Ah ok, I have an XL I could part with

Make it a custom by brazing a larger headtube on there

I already did that to one bike.

While I'm generally not afraid of being creative, I must admit that there are some thngs that are beyond my current abilities.

You'll get there!

I might add I have no experience with brazing or welding but I am intrigued by it and will go to england for a two week course in frame building.

I'm just waiting for the right time to do so as I know shit will get out of control once I go there - cue order on a custom jig...

Would it be too stupid to buy a medium Transition Rapture? Apart from the fact that it's out of budget.

I can't find comparable geometry data for the Pompetamines and I think my mind is tricking me to believe it's a better idea that it is.

Transition Rapture HeadTube Length 130

I dont think that is going to be an improvement

God dammit. Thanks. :/

Apparently pomp medium is 104mm...

yes and large is 135mm

Pompetamine (angles are wrong):

ok maybe you are right bb drop is 67mm on new bike so that is about ~+15mm over a pompetamine

vs Transition Rapture stack/reach: 377/548

Is the medium Rapture more or less the same as the large Pomp, fit-wise?

Looks like it

My heart tells me to ignore that.
My mind tells me "fuck you".
