Have we all lost sight of the most important thing? It's steel!!! Oh sweet, beautiful, smooth riding steel. I am patiently waiting for the pendulum to swing back towards steel. It's bound to happen. I think so many more people would get into riding if there were more steel available. It's just so much more comfortable, and newbies I think dig comfort more than fast. I remember test riding an aluminum and steel frame back to back. Ran over the same twig on both bikes, but it was such a princess and the pea feeling on the steel frame.
That Soma is beyond gorgeous, BTW. I love the background in the picture, makes it look even more majestic."True, but if you throw your panties into the middle of the peloton, someone's likely to get hurt."

thanks to Trek420 for pointing out...for reminding me...that 48/47 is my size..
i am actually looking to tempt my DH . He's riding a Trek 7000 that he likes...not in love....and i want him to experience the erotic nature of steel...and lugged steel I could look at while I ride...
(sigh...he's just so damn practical sometimes!!! this bike is fine, i have no problems with it, he says averting his eyes from the temptations I set before him...)
and he rides 58cm...the world is his lugged oyster....
(actually there's a Novara radonee on ebay I've got my eye on as a surprise..if it doesn't go too high... it's a nice blue)
the SOMA is DEEEEElicious I do have a thing for that Lemond style graphic on orange though....Last edited by elk; 06-29-2008 at 11:19 AM.

You're welcome. It makes bike lust more manageable when 9/10th are not even in our size
