[#6836806]

Got a nice surprise through my door today after managing to tear my shirt at work.
Waiting on a few things so that I can finish the build properly but I've got enough bits to get it rideable!

Great colour, what model is it? Not seen Soma for a while, not sure about your set angle though ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

It's a B-Side, the saddle's only like that because I just threw it on quickly!

Yea you don't really see many Soma's about, it's a shame really they seem really well put together with some nice details.

Where is your 1mm allen key?

Charger plugged into wall & switch in ON position: Fail.

Nice frame BTW ๐Ÿ™‚

1mm allen? Yea I was charging my light and forgot to turn the charger off.

Qwerty, thanks for the offer but I'm going to stick some rigids on it.

*not entirely, I'm still waiting on an absoluteblack wibbly-wobbly chainring and some more cash so I can get some longer forks.

Nice colour.
Ticks all the boxes for me.

What length are those forks...?
I've some Exotic alloy 470mm I'll likely never use.

They're ~440mm, I'm going to get some that are ~465 but ideally I'd get some carbon ones.

That's an awesome looking bike, I do love a Soma! I need to buy a Juice actually, did you get it from Mosquito bikes?

Yea they ordered it directly from Soma in the states so it took about a month for it to arrive. I can't fault them at all, they were always really helpful whenever I rang them.
