A word of advice for those who are considering buying a Soma frame: I bought mine from a shop in Austin, Texas. As part of the deal they prepped the frame. The mechanic told me he had to expend considerable effort in cleaning up the threads, especially the bottom bracket as I recall. From my experience I would not advise buying a Soma frame without either having the ability to do the prep or having access to somebody who can do it for you.

As for the frame itself, it is entirely satisfactory, As the pictures show, the finish is very good and the workmanship in general is top notch.

One other thought. I had fenders and a rear rack installed on my bike for some time. The front fenders suffered from some toe clip overlap that was manageable but still a nuisance. I recently removed the fenders and the rack. We aren't getting much rain in Texas and they were there mostly for style anyway.

And now for the pictures:
