There’s always room for just one more…

Appreciate all of the comments and yes with so much overstock on new stuff and so many new bright shiny things to spend money on it’s difficult to shift anything in these times. Amazing how rapidly the decline of rim brake has accelerated in the past few months. I’m guilty myself: instead of building this up as a winter roadie I bought a shiny new disc brake frame instead, convincing myself with the future proofing argument. Should have sold it 2 years ago in the original listing, Ah well

BUMP! Price to £590 before it goes elsewhere. Apart from the obvious repair frame in VGC with very low k-age

It’s difficult, innit? Price drop > £650

PRICE DROP > £790

@Glws, thanks for comment, and yes difficult to price in these times, assuming you mean with the inexorable rise of the disc brake.

However, there’s still a place for the grace and simplicity of the rim brake in my view.

Anyway, open to offers

Now for sale. Finally I will let it go. Full disclosure it was on eBay a while back but took it down as I changed my mind about selling. Decided now to go to disc brakes for the second bike so will no longer be building this one up.

Thinking £950 ish. If way off I’m sure I’ll find out!

I can meet at most stations on Thameslink or can deliver in a box if preferred

...so is this - very nice I mean

Bit late to the party but that is very nice. Love the Ritchey stuff, quality

Thanks Draughts. I’ll probably just take it down to be fair. Was having an idle moment and don’t have time to post pictures for the next few days, or to field the flak 😂

Scott’s Super Light (SL - see what they did there) Scott Addict frame and fork. Last of the SL frames before they were rebranded as RC Ultimate. Uses same HMX SL carbon in both frames.

This chassis has done less than 1,000km because it was replaced as a warranty repair by Scott after 2 hairline cracks were found on the underside of the chain stays. It has since been repaired by HQ Fibre Products in Norfolk, as recommended by Scott.

I was going to respray it and have it as a posh winter bike but never got round to it and now it needs to go. I still ride the replacement and it’s an awesome ride: super light, nimble and equally great for endurance or alps. I just don’t need two of them.

Complete bike retailed at £8,000+ when released and I’ve no idea where to start with this as whilst the repair is high end professional, it has still been repaired at the end of the day.

Thoughts and offers welcome. If there’s interest photos will follow (it’s boxed up at the moment). Thanks

Gotcha thanks, I’ll get the ruler out 😁

Hang on, this is a revelation! Where do the spacers go? End of the axles? Please tell me more!

@grm, agree with @yetidamo, there is very little out there off the peg. I've spent ages looking for (overthinking) the right tubeless rim/hub combo to fit my 135 OLD Pompino with wider CX tyres and sadly it all comes out at more than double the price of the bike build as custom seems to be the only way to go. So for what it's worth I'm looking at Kinlin rims (Hunt and Borg both use them) laced to Hope Trials hub on rear and Hope road on front. If i could build wheels I'd save myself a ton of money but i can't...

Hi what’s the BCD on Middleburn chainring please. Looking for 104BCD narrow /wide in an ideal, unicorn world

Very nice build, BTW

Hello folks. I've got a light blue Pompino (which I think is V1), with 135mm spacing at the back. Anyone know the maximum tyre width that will fit a 700c wheel in there? Thanks!

Wet nice clean build. What hubs/rims you running out of interest?

yeah, its all too rare, but thanks anyway! Current thought is £400 + custom build wheels to go on the 135 Pompino or give it up and put the cash towards a new bike. Old school cool vs Marketing bling, basically. If i go the former route I'll a great set of wheels but they'll have no resale value, except perhaps on this thread!

All good points, thank you. Agree in some respects wheels maketh the bike but I can probably do it cheaper with axle swap and the like. Currently I’m running road fulcrums on it but the axle barely fits and try running wider than 28mm on those rim. Albeit trivial in the current state of the world

Trying to work out whether it's worth paying £400 for custom wheels to put on an old baby blue Pompino. For some reason, 135 OLD, tubeless, single speed, rim brake wheels are not readily available off the peg - who'd have thought? Thoughts/abuse welcome

Very nice. I’ve got an SSMTB in a similar colour and they do look very fetching with knobbly tyres. GLWS!

PM'ed!

Bargain! GLWS

Love it: here’s an eighth dibs!
