Hello! This is my first post. I am just getting familiar with the il pompino after about a month together. I took my first ride in this pictured configuration yesterday with brand new clement mxp tires. I bought a complete bike that was set up for city street riding and replaced the silly narrow flat handlebar with a Soma Clarence i had on the shelf, fresh mavic open sport rims front 32h shimano 105 qr hub / rear origin8 36h track hub, 22 tooth freewheel to complement the existing 42 tooth crank, pedals donated from my mountain bike, and clement cloud dream grippy tires. I ride this bike For quick trips, for fun rides, and now for riding trails! It is a heck of a lot lighter than my mountain bike or touring/commuting rig! Climbing dirt trails is easier on this bike than my mountain bike as long as the roots aren't too big!
I've finally got my pomp set up with drops and i am also glad to now be stopping with avid single digit 7 v brakes, rather than tektro cantis.
