Chainline looks "interesting" on the Echo hub...
might i point this out:
[url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=45569 ]WTB Laserdisc, Singlespeed Hub - £52[/url]
you can but it is SS, not fixed 😆
it is - i meant for the value of the freewheeled hub, bolts and cog as opposed to the cost of converting my existing xt hub that had already been considered.
also, any more definite word on availability? it's my birthday in around 3 weeks... 🙂

Mmmm, looks nice!
they're taking bloody ages to arrive though, i'm in danger of talking myself out of it!
End of June/beginning of July innit?!
yeah they're saying beginning of july now apparently. taking a while, i spoke to them a couple of months back and they said about 6 weeks... still, as long as they turn up eventually!
i have been trying one of the pompetamine's out for a couple of weeks. this has to be the perfect comuter and all round bike. i am running it with alfine 8 speed and LX deore disc. i had a pompino before and think that their was nowt to beat it until i tried the pompetamine. i am going to do the hathersage hilly on it in july just to prove that it is an all round bike.
i will be the fat bloke at the back!
😀
So what is a Pompetamine anyway?
Is it like a blowjob on speed?

Available from 26th June apparently
I thought they were here already. One was being ridden on the sheff FNR a fortnight ago.
Anyone who has seen one know if there is space for 35 C cross tyres and guards? Just thinking about an ultimate commuter and weekend cyclocross machine. Would be a faff removing mudguards!
For the money not much else will come close. Will defo be getting one as i have most me the bits to build one up
can you get it as a complete bike or is it frame only?
disco stu - both although prices for complete bikes aren't up yet
hope there will be an intro offer price as promised, otherwise not sure i can get one at the mo 🙁
that's a shame - the suggestion a while back was that they'd be the same price as the normal pomp. apparently their being the same price [i]is[/i] the intro offer.
Complete bike is up on the site now @ £799. Not a bad price I reckon!
What size frame? : I'm 5'8" with 29" inside leg.
If I get one I'll have to sell my FSR 🙁
Full bike is a bargain at that price with alfine. Have ordered frame and fork though as have most of the required parts except a bb to build one up in the garage.
probs going to get frame and fork and transfer bits from other pomp.
anyone know bottom bracket size? 🙂
anyone? i just need to know which of these to order:

🙂
having said that, are there any decent and importantly cheap single ring isis cranks/ring setups i might consider while i'm doing the swap? cheap and good (the impossible dream!) is important here! (edit - or octalink, if an option)
anybody?
most likely 68mm, you'll probably need wider spindle than you currently run unless your existing pomp is 135mm spaced.
£800? Oh dear 🙁
cheers mark - i will indeed be making the switch from 120 to 135 with this new one. i have realised in the last few days that i know basically nothing about bottom bracket sizes!
bloody annoying - they've put the dates back [i]again[/i]
😡 😡 😡
Anyone got theirs yet?! I've not had a despatch confirmation and no txts from home to say anything
Showing as in stock now but not heard anything yet....
What weight is the Pompetamine Frame? weight of forks would be good too? a thinking about a winter training, commuting cross bike!
Ooh I just heard back from On-one:
Hi they only came in yesterday. All pompetamine orders will be fulfilled by the close of play tomorrow.
I built the back wheel last week, so I should have a disco pimpy Pompino by the end of Monday 🙂

Handy, just ordered mine......
Just got despatch email for mine - I'm away from home for 2.5 weeks so it will be waiting for me when I get back!
In the mean time, of course, I expect to see people's build pics on here as and when they're done 🙂
Should have mine delivered tomorrow if dpd perform to their usual standards, will be built by 6pm
I'm holding out until Alfine 11 arrives, which should allow time to get together the rest of the bits, so pics will be a while.....
Same as Bristolbiker, mine's gonna be a long term build too. Am currently thinking I'll wait til Alfine 11 comes out so gives me plenty of time to get bits together.
For the record tho...I'm building mine up with a 2009 Brawn GP colour scheme, so I don't wanna see anything similar! 🙂
(Mark - hope you're gonna put some pics up on Facebook of your build or email some to me...looking forward to seeing yours!)
anyone got one yet?
Mine has arrived. Just got to get out of work now and go build it. Forks look lovely
Status: Order held whilst awaiting stock - Your order is on hold whilst awaiting delivery of a missing item(s).
Don't know what the hold up is on my order as the web site is showing 'lots in stock' of the frame, fork and handlebars that I've ordered 😕
Mark: I need a 330 meeting with you so no sneaking off early;-)
Andy: thought new addition to family would stop all this spending on bikes.....
Lol Kev! There's always money for bikes (just means we have to eat off bread and beans every day...it's a price I'm willing to pay) 😀
