Tmonk, that Soul has so many great parts choices, I'll say hot. The gloss 3t fork and Thomson parts look a little off on the matte frame but the Hollogram cranks and Traditional drop bars make up for the sins I think.

Guru gets a NOT from me. Weird looking frame and the crank clashes badly with the rest of the bike.

thx.
as for the saddle/bar drop it's not as much as it looks like; the sloping top tube compact frame design plays with your eyes a little bit. It actually has the same saddle to bar drop as the black Soul and less than the yellow KHS fixed gear.
no the khs isn't held together with the bar tape. the thing is beat up to hell but it has plenty of life left and usually gets ridden once/week to work (38 mi) at a nice high tempo pace.
also if that cat was indeed purchased at trader joes than i would return it when my gf wasn't looking

no.
its a massive dent.
the frame is aligned, and it's obviously steel so the mechanical integrity is not comprised.
it's been that way for about four years.
