Pompino - Winter Beast

Having ridden 26" wheels all my life I'm super confused by (27"?) 700 x 32c etc. (Some consistency would be nice in the bike world!)

What's the widest tyre you could fit on a pompino??

according to the website 35c but I'm going for 32c so I have space for mudguards.

right - so 35 is mm, right? (excuse my ignorance, only ever ridden 20", 24" and 26" so never dealt with mm in width before - ha) If 35 is in mm then we're talking about 1.3" width - which is way thinner than I normally ride, but that frame looks so good.

I think I may have been cured of my need for the expensive TCB rack.

THIS is loads cheaper and will probably suit my build a bit better.

Kona P2 disc only forks for 30 quid?

Could make your Pomp look like this (Chris Borneo's):

Yes!

I'm in Manchester though, will you post?

I can check if any of the Manchester polo lot are in London any time soon if posting's a pain.

That would be sweet. I can repay in beers. I know you polo types like beers.

Ha! Any of the Manc ladies coming for the bench next week?

There's a bench next week?

Way to ruin my day :(

Yep, ladies only. Any Manchester ladies wanna come down?

There's a bench next week?

I will definitely have those forks either way, I can pay postage if you're willing?

It will have to wait until I've sold the Brompton, or payday (25th) whichever comes first.

Yeah can post at cost, PM me with your name and address and I will drop it at the PO by the end of the week. You can pay me when the funds come through.

You selling a Brompton? Worth checking these threads:

Frame, cranks, headset, and a few other bits bought.

Finally moving.

First delivery of stuff has arrived, expecting more today too.

Hello

Thank you for your recent order. Unfortunately we have had a stock error and will not be able to supply the large white Pompino frame. The white colour is now discontinued, but we will have more stock of the frames in either blue or a raw finish in mid-December.

Alternatively we can of course refund the cost of the item and send the rest of the order or cancel and refund the order in full.

Please accept our apologies for any convenience caused by this error and please let us know how you'd like to proceed.

Kind Regards,
Planet X Customer Service

fuck..

That sucks, raw finish could look pretty cool though...

Mid December though...

Gives you time to build up the wheels yourself...

I'd rather my mate at HH builds them though, he gives me good price.

I got excited that this could have been on the road by next week, everything else is arriving in the post today and tomorrow .
