Please stop ruining your track frame with the disgusting Sobe look-alike stickers.

I had enough money to buy you but went with Pake because your stickers are so god-damn ugly it make me sick.

Thanks

you do know that the Soma decal on the main tube and the Rush decal on the TT are removable, right? As for the sun-like decals on the head tube and seat tube, those are not removable (they are under the clear coat) but they aren't THAT noticeable. I don't think they're bad looking either, it's just Soma's logo. Why would you go w/ a Pake just b/c of that? pake's are way heavier and just not as nice in general (lesser material). Personally I love the Soma Rush. I want one. BADLY. I agree the decals are less than perfect, but not a deal breaker for me.

all bike companies should sell bikes with no decals. We will happily pay extra for their frames to help offset the cost of them not advertising.:colbert:

"nice bike, bro"

"thanks, it's a Soma"

decals aren't a big deal for me, i can always repaint a frame.

"all bike companies should sell bikes with no decals. We will happily pay extra for their frames to help offset the cost of them not advertising."

I wish bikes direct would realize this. They've got the tackiest liveries ever.

Agreed 100%

and to PedallingATX

its like a pound heavier. big deal. wont even feel it on the street

I have no problem with bike companies branding their bikes but come on, do they need a logo on every tube?

head badges are classy.

It's not simply heavier, it's also lower grade, straight gauge tubing vs butted Tange Prestige on the Rush. If you don't like the decals, fine, but you very well might "feel" the difference.

yeah Pake is pretty low quality. Soma is wayyy nicer.

the soma logo is cheesy. the designer must be stuck in the 90s listening to the worst bands of that era and planning a sweet tribal armband.

I don't think it's THAT bad. It's not good, but I can live with it. It doesn't stick out too much on the frame, either. But hey, if you want a Soma Rush (and I do), you have to live w/ that logo. I like it more than IRO or Surly and definitely Leader.

Hah- good catch. Although I've always compared it to Hank's back



Not sure if that's better or worse than the grunge association, though.

Silly, silly hipster.

huh?

I used the goog for ya.

The OP, not the Iggy and the Stooges/Alice in Chains tattoo guy

If you do get a Soma with no stickers on it, hopefully it'll have a serial number identifiable as a Soma. Otherwise, when you want to sell it, nobody will believe it's a Soma and they'll want to pay used Pake prices for it.

I'm trying to find replacement decals for my '87 Fuso. Without the $40 decal set, it loses a lot more than $40 of its value even though it's still easily identifiable as a Fuso.

umm.
that's not Iggy Pop.
please tell me you know who that is.

Search and Destroy most definitely is an Iggy and the Stooges song, but I think it's Henry Rollins in the picture?

ok.
just checking.

STICKERS . . .the new quality control for bikes!
