i think we already have a 135mm disc hub that might work fixed ,
http://on-one.co.uk/i/q/HUOOQRDH/on-one-singlespeed-qr-disc-hub-36h-%28with-q-r%29

the forks should be available separately if thats what you mean , they wont be expensive

the bikes are going to be properly photographed tomorrow , by a real photographer that we are actually paying money to and not trying to swap parts for , so hopefully our web images will start to improve

Fixed + rear brake = bad idea

Any 135mm disc hub will work fixed in the frame if you use a velosolo disc mount sproket. i ran one on my pro 2 hub till i decided it was a bad idea off road

Dave, I wouldn't want to ride fixed without a lockring. I've had the Surly SS disc hub which has both threads but the design was flawed and it ate bearings for breakfast. So I thought MTFU and forget about the rear brake, and I bought On-one's excellent double-fixed 135mm hub (OK the axle's a bit short but you can't have everything) 🙂

Phil Wood's have done an interesting new double-disc hub for bolt-on track cogs but it looks like it's only in 120mm at the moment.

Look what I found 🙂

i like the look of that, si – may well have to get one of those though may just convert my old xt hub but will be freewheeling…

and dave, i like the look of the white – put one aside with my name on please!

Chainline looks "interesting" on the Echo hub…

might i point this out:

WTB Laserdisc, Singlespeed Hub – £52

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 is 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 again

😡 😡 😡

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 🙂

Hi they only came in yesterday. All pompetamine orders will be fulfilled by the close of play tomorrow

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!
