Aside from Soma, I was also considering a Cinelli Vig steel when I was shopping for a frame, though I really don't like the paint job on that one. There really aren't many nice steel FG frames on the market right now, except if you're willing to get spendy.
How's the geometry on the Big Block compared to my Gazzetta? I'm wanting something just a bit more relaxed/comfortable in the cockpit for longer rides. Outside of feeling a bit cramped in the back end of my current frame mainly due to its aggressive geo, I feel it fits me very well. My Gazzetta size is the XS and am looking at the Big Block in 49, which has a +15mm difference. I know All City sizes their bikes a bit wonky however. Should I be looking at a 46cm frame instead?
