My twig and berries like the mary bar.

28c

Yup standard..

ive got pretty short legs and long arms. So, in most cases i need a frame with a steep STA and long TT.

From what i gather -

All -1 degree HT, .5+ ST, -5mm CS
S,M & XL +10mm ETT L+15mm ETT

I'm on a V3 L now. Its a shame the V4 doesnt have a taller HT combined wit hthe longer ETT. YMMV but even @ 72.5. the ST is way to slack for me. No wonder you ride smaller frames with huge seat-bar gaps...

is NOT the only geo tweak..

Has this been resolved yet?

thats what they said on FB Monday. I figure with the bike show and launch of new bikes maybe the v4 pom announcement fell through the cracks.

Via FB "The framesets (V4 pompino) arrived friday and the content is being written as we speak, they should be on the website in the next couple of days"

its going to be harder to slow or stop a FG thats rotating that fast unless you have legs o' steel. Otherwise your gonna break shit..

I run a FF 16/18 x 40T for a 68/61GI

If i can replicate the reach i have now riding the tops of the drop bar i have on there now i'll be good to go. If not then ill try inverting um and if that doesnt work theyre going on the rigid 9er and go back tot the drop bar.

How much performance will i lose switching from a drop bar to a mary bar. Is there a way to minimize the loss with set up?

It looks good and all, I like the raw finish. I was hoping for a taller headtube and longer ETT. But from the pics you cant tell if there's any distinctive geometry changes b/c it looks the same except for the seat stays.

So would i be giving up what performance i have using a drop bar? I still wanna be able to ride longer distances and climb. Im just worried the mary will transform the bike into a townie POS bike.

Is a Mary bar a good alternative to a cowbell II drop bar? If figure if i cut it down some i can get my hands near where they are with the drop bar. Any good setup pics

Large. Surly tug FTW.

@ 1st i thought the rim read "shemal" WTF?

Any news on the new pompino frameset? I e-mailed on-one about it but didnt get any reply.

carbon fork at least.
I'm turning mine into a sort of pimpetamine with some campagnolo, 3t and some shiny stuff.

for sure for damping. Oh and light but stable wheel set helps keep the weight down.

a 2,3 or 5 spd hub

Then Specialized have it upside down in all their product shots?

it was turned right side up AFTER i took the pic i posted. My bad

Looking into pomps again,

Does there exist a fork with canti mounts, 32c clearance but shorter than the pomp fork to bring the geo more track style? (bringing the TT a bit more horizontal)

I believe hovers around 370-380. I suggest trying the pom fork and let the seat bar drop level things out.

Pretty sure that isn't an Elite cage but it is upside down.

and it is right side up

Nice bike. Though, bottle cage seems to be fitted upside down?

And the shop told me it was up side down so they rotated it, apparently right side up.

As a SSCX id say go with a wider rim like the A23. 35c adventure tires, a shallow seat-bar drop and a 60 something gear would work. A pic of previous pom build
