[#1077682]

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?

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]

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