Looks like they've come out with a new SS 29er option! The Soma Juice is now coming with sliding rear dropouts so it can easily be run as singlespeed.

OK. That's pretty cool.

not even in the market and now i have build-fantasies dancing in my head.....urg. :)

Saw this today. New style Soma Rush in black with gold decals. I haven't seen this on Soma's site, store, or anywhere else. It is for sale on tokyofixedgear. It looks friggin sweet but I have no idea why the only place I've seen it is tokyo fixed. Anyone know more?

Merry Sales isn't showing them on their dealer site but they're a little slow to update things sometimes. Maybe Evan will pop in and shed some light on it.
That black and gold looks great! |

OK my son has outgrown the fixie we built together (his grandmothers circa late 70's univega as a base so it does not have track geometry, but i was a fun build include full repaint with auto paint)
I would like opinions on a choice between a used Soma Rush frame set (with head set and cranks for what seens to be a good price...under 300) or a new Pake rum runner. I don't think i can go wrong with either as a base. The rush I can get and swap compenents and then let the kid pick a color and get it powder coated if he hates the white. the rum runner is new....and the black/neon fade is pretty cool thanks |

I would recommend buying the rush because I need cash :innocent:

Can anyone tell me what type of headset is need for a Rush? The soma site doesn't want to go into frame details, i.e click on frame and that's it.
I know 1" threadless..... but JIS standard or "new european" standard? thanks |
Well here is one option. http://store.somafab.com/ird1tethhe.html

Thought this was a pretty sweet track setup on a Rush. I guess the guy won state masters sprint on it this summer. I wish I could find some better pics of the bike.

I think you should go for it (especially in matte black). The only argument people seem to ever have against them is that they don't have inside dropout protectors, but seriously when was the last time someone called the Cannondale track frame ****ty? That doesn't have dropout plates at all. *yes I realize comparing a pake to a cannondale track is silly, but I'm just saying there have been good aluminum frames that are still good 10 years later that didn't have dropout protectors. |

There's a blue French 75 for sale in my local classified's website/forum. It's been posted several times before with a starting price of $450, like new condition, and includes a CaneCreek Integrated headset, and a Salsa seat clamp. Half a year has passed and now the seller's asking price is $250. Really tempted to buy the thing and switch over parts from my Rush onto it. -__-

Wow.
|
Turned out that the guy recently sold it, without deleting or updating his ad. Oh well, lol.

Assuming you still have it somewhere, have you thought about salvaging the headbadge from your wrecked one? It can act as a good luck charm or memento of it. I believe you can just take dental floss and slide it under the badge to displace the adhesive.

That's unfortunate, Charlie. Still looks better with that new headbadge, though.
