Hi do any of you own one of these and what do they ride like
i ride mainly flat twisty singletrack and the peaks/lakes on days out
I like the idea of being able to run single speed for the winter
But i cant decide is the 853 better than than the soma????
Any help advise would be appreciated

Thanks

Can’t comment on the frames but I do say don’t make “able to run single speed” a big deal.

I’ve run various frames SS using sliders, EBBs and sprung tensioners, all work fine. Buy the frame that suits how you ride, and use a tensioner if it can’t SS out of the box.
