White Soma Rush! 49cm!
I'm kinda excited since building it. I figure I'll add this post to the forum in case someone needs to search some info on a white soma rush in a small 49cm. Basically, it rides like a champ!

Reach is perfect, I'm only 5'4".
Will do, when I get home from work. But I can tell you that the top tube does not slope at all, straight across, this was one criteria when I was looking for a frame. I think older 49cm Soma rush models did slope a little, but those were the reynolds steel ones with the gothic RUSH lettering.

Dx-2000 road frame in the smallest size possible without a sloping top tube nor 650c wheels, I think it's like 46cm. 28" and change standover with 700c wheels. Lotta seatpost showing with that one.
Yeah, but it was all I had on hand. It was either that or a couch.
Teleport? No problems.

That looks great. There's a white Rush at my LBS that has been tempting me. But it's a bit too big...
Just curious- whats the ballpark figure for that build? All new, used, or mixed parts?

Here it is, finally.
Well, frame and fork was 435$. Mavic cxp22/formula I bought a while ago was like 130$ for the set, or something like that, not including the tires. $44 nitto horns. 110$ andel crank/ring. The rest of the stuff was either sourced from my surly crosscheck or ebayed used. The bike shop I got the frame from forgot to ship the tape I ordered.

435 new? is that from your lbs?
im thinking about one of these but not sure if i should save up a bit more and get a bareknuckle instead. the fact that the decals are over the clearcoat is pretty rad.
