Well... I meant to post snapshots of my brand new Soma Smoothie in December. I decided to build this bike as a replacement for my much loved Bridgestone RB-1. In November, a motorist darted into my path - a well marked bike lane -and now the RB-1 has a bent top tube! That's beyond my repair skills, so I looked for a couple of my "grail bikes" (e.g. 62cm MX Leader). But being grail bikes, they're extremely scarce. The Smoothie came together quickly. I put a couple hundred miles on it in December, but various things delayed me posting pics here, including a late decision to switch over stem and seatpost from black Ritchey parts to silver Soma bits.
