Creakyknees 02-25-2008, 05:24 PM Nice bike!
So, did you pick the paint scheme before or after seeing Rock Racing's design?

Thanks.
I ordered this frame 3.5 months ago. I picked the color before the designs were ever made public.

scmaddog17 02-25-2008, 05:48 PM what dealer did you get it from and how much was the frame? that really is a nice paint scheme too, nice ride!!
FatTireFred 02-25-2008, 05:50 PM looks kinda like a fondriest
santosjep 02-25-2008, 06:14 PM Absolutely fantastic. I love SOMEC bikes and this just makes my mouth water... great job! I see a very fruitful and enjoyable season ahead of you. :)
Ride safely,
Joe
StreamerT10 02-25-2008, 06:15 PM Nice lookin' ride. Nice seatpost. Nice weight. You either are flexible as hell or have the arms of a chimp - seriously slammed in the front. Is this your everyday ride? I don't think my back/neck would last 10 minutes on that drop.

I ordered it from USA Imports. They are SOMEC's North American Dealer. The custom frame cost me $1900 Euro.

Yes. I will be training on this bike 2-3 hours every day starting next month. It's a very comfortable position for me.

It's a San Selle Flite Saddle. It's really comfortable. The leather is very nice quality too. My riding buddies all want one now.
