After riding SSWC last year and getting completely hooked I went searching for the 'perfect' frame for my dream SS. It had to be steel, have sliding dropouts and the ability to take gears, in case a longer ride beckoned (multi-day). Enter the Soma Analog (I had a pending trip to the US and jumped on the opportunity to order one and smuggle it back). I've been riding it for almost a year now with roughly the same set-up as in the shot with the bakkie, and its amazing. Quick, turns on a dime and climbs perfectly.
