Build report: My new Somec Leader (Columbus MS)

I just got around to posting this build after the last few parts showed up. I've ALWAYS wanted a Somec, and always wanted an MS bike. Two birds with one eBay account, as they say.

Here's a drive side shot...



And a bit more...



More (and full size) photos and details on my blog, just to save bits and bytes! I put on a number of details and spared no logos!

Beautiful bike, I hope I am not the only one that wondered why someone was posting about a bicycle in Columbus, Mississippi, or thought about the Greenville, MS, Schwinns.

That town is the bane of my eBay searches. Good thing no state is abbreviated "MAX" or I'd be in even more trouble! Bianchi Proto, anyone...?

Bet that beauty rides great.

Love the fork crown and seat cluster details.

Super snazzy and so's the color.

Cool, unusual bike.
