[Nigel182]

Picked up last night Pompino Frame with non Pompino Forks...
Next on list get Pompino Fork and rest of parts...
Decide on Colour or Raw Finish then Rebuild !!!!!

 

[biggs682]

keep it clean and simple

 

[Nigel182]

At moment thinking Powdercoat Frame and Forks.
V Brakes front and rear as will also be run with a Freewheel.
Possibly Rear Rack if used as Day to Day Hack/Beater/Utility

I think a raw finish would look pretty sweet on that, it is a good looking frame. Like biggs682 said clean and simple would be cool.

Going to have Frame Powdercoated...needs the protection.... just gotta decide on clour...~(not Red---- Got enough Red Bikes),
Possibly Green or Blue ???
Will be Singlespeed and Occasionally Fixed when Son...
Going to use it for Hack purposes...Pub and Shopping Trips.....maybe a FNRttC !!!

Dont want to be a nosy begger, but how much did that frame set you back?

Im looking to build my self a bit of a fixed wheel for getting to and from uni/girlfriends in Manchester (Not chuffed about locking up my £1000+ Planet X on the street!)
I was speaking to a bloke who says he managed to get a beautiful old Fuji frame for £30 at a Bike jumble sale, hot air or is he serious? I happily offered him £100 for it then and there, unfortunately he loved it as much as I did and didn't want to sell it.
Im going along to the jumble sale this saturday, plan to be there at first light!

[Gary E]

Very nice but isn't the pannier on backwards? Surely the reflective strip should be at the back??

 

[biggs682]

[Old Plodder]

Nice; very 'urban'.
