Hey everyone, I know you get these threads a lot but I just wanted some opinions...

I noticed I had a bunch of parts lying around and I have the urge to build up a new everyday/commuter bike. (I live in NYC) the two necessities are it needs to have a 68mm BB and a threaded fork (I have lots of quills and a nice headset on hand so don't talk me out of it)

I've been looking at the soma rush (you can order threaded forks instead of the threadless)
and the kazane

They are both similarly priced with the soma having nicer tange prestige. The kazane looks nice and seems to have nice geometry but you're really paying for the lugs and paintjob, not the steel.

what do you guys think? any other frames in this price range that come to mind? (don't mention an iro angus I used to have one and didn't bond with it)

thanks for the help
