And how much would this 49cm Soma Pake cost one who is perhaps interested in buying it? Trackstar doesn't list the Pake frame on there website other than in their news section. Thanks! Oh, and is this a complete bike or frame and fork only?

The Pake frame and fork goes for $280.
Atleast, that's what I paid for mine.

650c fronts rock! (to bad i just sold this frame and wheel....).
run straight as an arrow.

yeah man, i have the exact frame, only different paint job. i love that b!tch.

anyone have any picture of this Pake?

paging tracksstar peeps... is there a pic of this mean machine being discussed?

do you know what is a pursuit frame? that PAKE at Trackstar is not one.

look up Terry bikes and you will see she makes similar frames for small females..650 front and 700 rear.

CEYA!

That Sannino pursuit/TT frame at Trackstar looked sweet... first time in the shop yesterday, people were friendly.

I was there too. so you seen the Pake there in the corner also..thanks for the complement on the Sannino. That Sannino style or SLOPING TOPE TUBE was made famous by Francesco Moser in 1983.

CEYA!

this pic was in a thread a while back....

Really gorgeous. I imagine that's going to make a fine frame for someone, though I'm curious how comfortable it'd be to ride something with that sort of angles regularly. I know there are people that do it, but youch.

wher can you get it beside trackstar? i couldnt find it on the soma site.

are there any pics of it set-up with wheels and stuff

Is there any benefits running a 650 in the front? or 650 for both front and rear?

So damn hot. You have a high res of that pic? :)

here is my Sannino ,its been posted here before but never ridden ,just built up.



S/F,
CEYA!

I had to call Soma dealers around the country before I found one.

They have one or two at American cyclery here in SF. small ones IIRC: 51 or 53.

Ceya, again with the crazy drop ;) I swear, you've gotta have a back like Gumby or something...

no that was a photo op with my cell phone.

I just bought a pake to replace my GT that was stolen a little while ago, bought it at College Park Cycles in Maryland. My impression is that its imported by Soma but not actually produced by it. Mine came with a 700 front wheel, it doesn't strike me that its a persuit frame, mine doesn't have that huge slope.

It strikes me that the geometry is just basic track geometry. Its a light frame, thin tubing and rides great- cheap too. Can post pictures in a little while.

It's not a pursuit frame.

Despite the "fabrication" in their name, SOMA doesn't make any of their own stuff. It's all SOMA designed and Taiwanese fabbed.

the reading comprehension in this thread is killing me!

yes! i know what a pursuit frame is.

No! the pake isnt one...

but... yes!.. it had 2 different size wheels... giving the top tube a little slope (i was disagreeing with you ceya, saying it had 650s on it.. whe in fact fromm what i saw.. i believe it only had one 650 on it)

and NO! stop posting pics of the stupid frame.. it was asked to post the specific bike in question...several times.. we know what the frame looks like...

im sorry i ever posted about the bike.. how about we just forget about the whole thing

I didn't even notice that it was sloppy that posted. yo sloppy, you in NYC? how long you here for? sucks that it's raining like crazy here.
