It looks stunning, much nicer blue than photo depicts. I finally got my "Pompino" in the colour I love and with Disc Brakes.
That looks great. I've been thinking about getting one of these for a while now.
I think my credit card might be in danger right now...
(BTW - Where did you order from in the end?)
I got it from REAL CYCLES in Northern Ireland (£594 & free P&P !!!). That's £200 under RRP, had to act fast because £699 was lowest I could find elsewhere.
I'll ride it a while with drops then decide whether to salvage the Stoker bars (as they are very, very, comfy) although I'd like to keep the setup between bikes as similar as possible. Riding the stoker/bull-horns exclusively for 4 months made my other main bike feel a bit awkward when I jumped back on that. I want to avoid that.
Yes, it has CRUD Guard fittings and what I suspect are Alfine cable guide fittings on the right Chain stay.
It has eyelets for mudguards and rack..basically it's very well equipped in that respect. It's my last day on anti-biotics today (I swore I would stop cycling while ill because I just couldn't shake it off) so that will give me time to sort out the gearing and fit tyres/guards. It's raining off and on so there's no way I'm taking it out without mudguards on those Cross tyres.
Anyone want to buy some never-used Conti Cross Race tyres?
Trust me..the photo doesn't do it justice.
PS. the floor is 1" French oak, T&G, in assorted widths. Laid it myself.
