SOMA frames.
Anyone currently riding a smoothie? How do you like it if so? How is the paint? Does it chip easily or seem pretty strong? Thanks....

I have a Smoothie, I like it a lot. The paint was pretty durable, it did suffer many chips and scratches but I think those were from encounters with bike racks and whatnot that would have damaged any paint.
I recommend 'em, if the geo fits. Steep STAs.

would you say the paint seemed brittle? like kona paint? if you as much as drop a pebble on a top tube the thing will chip. i like the look of the soma though and have a nice groupset to put on a frame right now.
