Sharp looking bike, steel is real and you've got deep section rims but it all works together old and new. Can the red sticker come off the rear rim? It doesn't work so well with the black n white thing you've got going on and there's no matching one on the front rim.

Hot Soma Smoothie. Always liked that frame although I do not like the white color.

That's hot, whatever it is!
Most people are interested in what the drive train is as well, so next time shoot the bike from the other side. Thanks!

Be thankful that you did not post here in the Hot r Not several months ago, when the (non-existent) "rules" were heavily enforced, else you'd be getting a pretty good whipping

Rules are rules. Satire or studied self-seriousness. Form your own opinion and/or sense of style. No one really cares.
