Soma frames

[rock]

First a rave, I have been rising a b-side mtb frame for the most part of this year and like it so much I ordered a road frame as well to have my 'pigeon pair'.

 

Now a rant, my frame is AWOL thanks to the post office.

 

Another rave, I have decided to order another one and arrange the airfreight myself with a proper airline and a quick transit time.

The costs as you can imagine are staggering so have decided to bring in a few extra frames to share with South Africa.

 

I will bring in a handful of B-Sides (650b) and Juice frames (29er) - beautiful steel (Tange Prestige) frames with Tange sliding drop outs in case you want to go SS.

 

If these tickle your fancy and want a particular size let me know so I can include it in the order. Other wise I will sell the few frames once they are on hand so it can be an instant gratification purchase. No hassle for you in terms of shipping, post office, Customs, VAT etc.

 

I'm sure someone will ask, it looks like it will be around R7500 for a frame, hopefully less.

Soma Fabrications is a legit company with great products.

 

Good luck with your venture.

awesome Rock! gotta love classic Tange Prestige. I have the Tange IRD sliders on another frame - they just work. I think I need a Juice in a trail HT set up.

[rock]

The Juice can take up to 140mm up front so a great trail machine.

 

B-side takes up to 120mm

 

44mm headtube means that with the corret headset you can run 1-1/8" straight and tapered steerers.

rock man, you be in the know - is that Soma logo not the same as the Titus logo ?

[rock]

Shouldn't think so they have been around for a while certainly since the original Titus era.

 

Proud San Francisco heritage.....

thanks - silly of me, a quick google, shows they have similar type "rays" but one has a sun and not a circle.

Rock, are you bringing in a med size B-Sides frame? It looks really cool. I have had my heart set on a 650b Cotic Soul, but it seems they are out of stock again and will be for a while.

This Soma looks pretty awesome. I have a Tange steel Saracen rigid mtb from the early 90's, it is a sweet ride!
