What would be your choice as a 10 mile+ single speed commuter. It needs to be robust enough to handle day to day and all year round riding, but comfy for long leisure type rides ie Manchester to Blackpool. What would be your choice of weapon???
I favour the Paddy Wagon due to ease of purchase more than anything.

Pompino, a guy who works at the lbs with me has a bob jackson and several other nice steel bikes, he tried my pompino and has just bought himself one and fitted a rolhoff!!!!0

Personally - Bianchi Pista, for the look.
However, practicality tells me Pompino!0 -

Now I am absolutely qualified to answer this one! I have owned a Paddy Wagon, a condor Pista(now deceased), a Touche(cracked) and now a Pompino (99 quid-WTF) and can say out of all these frames The Pompino is by far the stiffest and best frame in that price bracket. When I look retrospectivly, it is the only one made for purpose and feels like it. relaxed yet stiff, 99 squid!! Do it, its bonkers!!!0
