A few months ago I posted pics of a Somec frame I bought from EBay and had shipped from Italy...unsure if it was genuine. Following the suggestion of a forum member I contacted Lara at Somec who confirmed it was indeed an aluminum Somec from the 90's. I built it up with period correct 600 Ultegra wheels and a 10 speed Chinese (Sensah) groupset. I am sure some will consider it a cardinal sin to go with the Chinses groupset but I needed to keep cost under control...







I love the results...I think it looks great and, with about 800 miles on it I can say it works quite well. The handling is exceptional.
