Slowly but surely coming together, finally got some spokes so built wheelz. Dura-ace cranks & chainring in customs, prolly gonna have it sometime next week.

E: also sorry for potato pic, my phone and lack of sun in Finland makes me sad.

could fit a whole pack of rizla in there.

True :/

Did someone mention bridgestone and rizla clearances?

That pomp with gears is giving me ideas what to do with my pompetamine in summer...I was thinking about alfine hub but with that i'd save $$$ hmmhmmhmm. Are those hangers actually any good or should i forget whole idea?

So "finnish rat swag" = fake cannondales and forced paintchips?

pretty much yea

ftfy

Thank you both! I checked transmission database in advance and didn't found anything related to a related to this specific frame, nor to Mielec ones (one post without answer)

I've read in the webpage of FSA and it recommends the 110.5 mm bottom bracket. I guess I will wait to have everything together and then decide what cog am I going to use (my city in Spain have several uphills and this fact is kind of tricky to use the bike in fixed gear mode)

Thank you! :)

This isn't even the right thread but w/e...FSA recommends the 110.5mm bb but with that you'll get 45mm chainline, so with 107mm bb you'll get like 43-44 and with 103mm you'll get close to 42mm.

I'm curious what end is ideal for a SS winter bike.

I think this comes close to perfect IMO:

You can take the wheel off without fiddling with mudguards and you have a chain tensioner.

OR if you're gonna use discs, then paragon sliders would be best bet.

someone post a picture of their fuckin pomp or something already.

From todays commute:

here's their comment on that

Or you can just order same rebranded colossis from europe

Clearances are tidy.

Mondays aren't that bad after all. Courier just brought this:

Hi Guys,

I have seen some nice builds here in this topic. I'm planning of building an on one pompetamine for my rides to work and some commuting. I have a set of wheels build up with H+son archetype rims and Hope pro II hubs 6bolt with a singlespeed conversion kit. I'm thinking of using the avid BB7 brakes with 160mm disc. Do you guys think it wil fit? Beacause on the site of on one they recomennd centrelock disc wheels for maximum fork clearance...

The fork is a bit of a tight fit, but it does work. If you're planning on using big tyres and need to run backwheel at the end of the dropouts, you might need a bigger disc.

V2 has the brake bridge in the rear and V1 doesn't, amirite?

This should be better then Colossi. Price is pretty much the same as Pre Cursa, welds aren't the smoothest, but geo is tight.

After fixing up xb3 meteor might think about this.

Except it is colossi. Even says in the description.

Looks like i might have to get 2nd pompino 8)

Hey, what size rotor is anyone running with a BB7 road calliper, on the rear of a pompetamine? Just tried to fit a 140 with no luck. 160 any good?

I had 160mm with summer tyres. Now i have these big-ass tyres and i had to de-slam the wheel all the way to the end of the dropouts, so i actually had to use 180mm rotor to make it work.

So depends where the axle comes in the dropouts. (yeah it's a bit of a design fault)

Hope this helps.

Yeah i know its still cheap for a custom, but i guess you get what you pay for. Just can't trust it to come as ordered, so im gonna look elsewhere. (add fork+headset to the price and you're starting to get 2nd hand mash or whatever)

i hope he was joking. has he started building the frames out of gold or something? i was seriously considering ordering a cannondale copy but i don't want to shell out £250 odd quid for it. if the price for the simple frame is 120 euro, smooth welds 30 euro, new drop outs around 30 euro (?) and paint around 20 euro (again this is a guess) i really don't see what could be making it so expensive.

Dunno about the cannondale copy, i asked for something else i had in mind and this is what i got:

" Basic frame 140euro + 30euro smooth welds+ 25euro custom geometry+ 25euro integrated head tube + 35euro new dropouts/tubes + 12euro paiting with glitter +30euro shipping. So total price will be 297euro.
Time to delivery is about 7weeks. "

I know it's custom and all but still, mielec is mielec.

... all good until your frame arrives and it's wrong colour/wrong geo/wrong size/damaged...

The Mielec Lottery.

I was also interested about ordering one, but knowing this and also the 300€ price tag i got from Robert was just too much for me.

So holidays started and i got totally bored. Wanted to go mountain biking but didn't have bike for it...wat do. Answer:

:D

Looks pretty similar to the Basil racks, I chopped the back of mine down a bit so it was similar shape to makko's. I've probably posted a pic in this thread.

Yep, and i was gonna get a basil first but got this cheaply from a friend so couldn't resist :). Chopped the back and shaved the bits that goes to axle so now i can remove the rack with less hassle.

It seems sturdy but on the other hand it weights a ton since its made from steel, but i'm happy so far.

^ big fan, thats kinda what I'm trying to build but fixed gear with a pompino.

what rack is that?

thanks mates

It's a bit modified steco.

Got a new fork and front rack;

few more shots

I have these in my pompetamine with spacers, works like a charm and aint too pricey.
