Pompetamine Versa 11 Out Now!

Hi, what is the bigest (fattiest) tire fits in the frame ? thx

This is very nearly my perfect winter bike, finger hovering over the buy button! I notice the wheels are handbuilt, but there are no alternative hub options for the front. Is there any chance you could build it with a front dynamo hub? It would be a shame (and waste of money) to have to rip apart and rebuild the front wheel the day it arrives, because I see dynohubs as an essential part of my bikes!

Hi Jack, there are one set of eyelets front and rear. No problem to mount rack and guard onto the same eyelet though.

Has this got eyelets on the front fork for 'guards? How many sets of eyelets at the back -- has it got separate ones for 'guards and a rack?

belt drive would make it even better... ;)

Hi Phil. 11-28 on a 50-34 crankiest has a gear range of 31.9 to 119.5 inches on a road bike with 170mm cranks. Using Sheldon Brown's gear calculator we find: Alfine 11 with 45-18 gives a range of 35 to 142 inches. Alfine 11 with 45-20 gives a range of 31 to 128 inches. Alfine 11 with 39-18 gives a range of 30 to 123 inches. Alfine 11 with 39-20 gives a range of 27 to 111 inches. We've only built up this bike in black, so far, but you can see what the glow in the dark white would look like here: http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/CBOOPOMPALF11PRO/on-one-pompetamine-alfine-11-speed-pro Hope that helps!”

Could you advise how the gearing is compared to say a compact with 12-28 cassette say? I'm looking for an all round workhorse but want to be able to do the serious hills on this as well. Also could you post pics of the full bike in all colours? It's quite hard to visualise. Cheers.

I've had mine fully loaded - bike weighed 32kgs! I must say I'm impressed with the brakes. I'd like to fit cross-top levers but wasn't sure if they would work properly with the disc brakes. I may to give it a try now...

Hi Marc, you could fit cross top levers but they're not something we have in stock so you wouldn't be able to do it using the customise function.

Been waiting quite a while for this one to come out, shame I just bought a new bike weeks ago though, it's the very next one on the list though ... Question; is there any way to make it an option to add cross-top brake levers ? Thanks a lot and congratulations either way, it's a great product.

Aha! Then maybe you were the first, Jon. I looked extensively online earlier and couldn't find any off-the-peg drop bar Alfine 11 bikes. Glad you're enjoying yours though!

This isn't the world's first - I've had my Afline 11 Versa since March ;-) OK, I will admit I didn't get it 'off the shelf' like that but your customised specification was a big help in helping me. See 'Readers Bikes' for details of it.
