    If it helps, I'm 6'4" and have a 35" inside leg. My Pompino fits fine with a 110 stem and about 240ish showing on the no-name seat post. been like that most of the winter and all's still good - no cracks. I would think (assuming you're not a Baboon) you would be fine up to 6'6" and 36".

    49 and 46/16, but I'm currently being unadverturous on singlespeed.
    On the other hand, since ditching the gears I actually find my knees stronger, especially when running.

    I found the cutting fairly straight forward with a junior hacksaw.

    It's all the micro adjustment after that caused me to lose the will to live.
    (700x28 tyres are at the stated max for the guards though)

    I've finally finished my Pompino! it was rideable within a week of starting the build but, after a two hour wrestle with the mudguards last night, its done.

    On that point, I will never fit another mudguard again. What sociopathic bastard designed those then?

    Just a quick hello, as I've just joined. I've an unbuilt Pompino taking up room in the living room and I've given myself a two week window to turn it into the new mega commuter.Expect some rather dim questions.
