    I'm selling my green Pompino frame (check back a few pages for photo), size L, if anyone is interested. Stronglight chainset and corresponding bottom included also. LMK if interested. Not sure what it is worth. Located Bristol.

    Nice proportions and colour combo

    I’m running some mid 90s Campagnolo cranks on a 102 ISO BB, chainline is within a few mms and certainly a lot better than the Stronglight that was on when I bought it (the previous owner had messed around with hub spacers to get a good chainline and ended up with the wheel off centre). A little clearancing was required, plenty of metal there, the pedal doesn’t even use all the thread.

    How can you tell what is V1/2/3/4?

    A bit green. Not decided on bar tape colour, however for my height, 5'7", the L is spot on...

    I got myself a green one in L and I think I'm going to be OK (wheel sea). The Pompino has a very relaxed seat angle. I'm used to a 74 deg on the road. With an inline seatpost to give the same saddle setback as my most comfortable road bike, for the same stem length I get the same saddle to bar distance. One thing I hate is short head tubes and a multitude of spacers or an upturned stem to get the bar height right, I fear I will get this with an M.

    I'll post pics this week, once I have changed a few components.

    Thanks for your input all. If it doesn't work out, I'll chop it in for an M.

    Many thanks. Very helpful. I think I'll be trying a Large. Best I go find one and post pics. I'm 5'7" by the way.

    And, can I ask a favour of someone with an L (V4 if possible) Pompino? Can they measure the centre of the bottom bracket to the top of the top tube where it is welded onto the seat tube. The On One website is a bit shy of dimensions.

    Hi, I'm after a (V4 if possible) Pompino frame in L if anyone wants to part. Many thanks.
