Took delivery of a pompino a week or two back, but was preoccupied with my Dialled alpine build in the mean time.

Just tonight, as the frame still sits on the kitchen table since I unboxed it, I noticed something strange.

At first it isnt clear.

But look closer

Its growing something on it!

If a second fully grown pompino is going t o grow out of it and not leave an afterbirth on the table in a few weeks then happy days, but seriously.

WTF?

nipple?

Looks like a tab for a frame fit pump.

it's just excited

**** me, this dudes has the same wee nubbin?

I think Explosion In a Spaghetti Factory is on the money…

Its an old school pump peg.

Its an old school pump peg.

Ok, but where does the other end attach??

Another here

The other end of frame fit pump's are concave and press against the seat tube.

zefal frame fit pump – probably a long for that frame

one ends curved to sit against the frame that end is to go in the hole on the other end !

mrs julian has identified it as a 'nubbin' for a frame pump. I am hugely impressed with her.

Most modern road pumps have a concave end that fits around seat tube and the other end fits on the peg. You just need to make sure you get the right length road pump and the spring tension normally in the handle keeps it in place.

They're absolutely right – it's for one of these:

Proper old-skool

[psa] Other pumps are available, probably at a fraction of the price of the above. Please check your frame size before ordering. [/psa]

Is there an echo in here?

😉

I'm too slow with my reply!

echo, echo, echo

🙂

is it a Crayola Crayon?

it's for on one owners to hang their fleece on 😉

BTW – The bits on the top tube are for your brake cable.

🙄

Its a little hook, of which to hang your little gay fakenger cap, or your oakleys

maybe it's the port they used to pump in the fabled onone ride mojo

Not impressed!

New easyfind clitoris?

It's a penis, that tapers at the end, like a mouses head.

the kaffenback has a chain hanger too!

as stoner said a clitoris

as a mate of mine used to describe XR3i's ….. clitoris cars….all c n u t s have them 😉

tapers at the end, like a mouses head

Lovely stuff. All threads should have an Alan Partridge quote.

kids these days 🙂

That'll make it betterer.

A nice detail. Wish mine had one. 🙁
