There is nothing fancy about Soma paint jobs, just plain old single colors and minimal stickers. No one designs steel tubes except the companies that make them (Tange, Columbus, Renolds, ect.) That just leaves which tube thickness/quality to use, the tube length and angle to weld them together; this is what Soma designs.

How they can build Tange Prestige frames for such a low price is what is really incredible about Soma. I really don't think there is another company giving you such high end tubes for such a low price. I guess it comes from cheap labor, not wasting money on fancy paint jobs, and very little advertising costs.
