Well, my frame that was supposed to arrive in about a week is still not here, and now I've found out that Soma is coming out with a mixte frame. So I am now having buyer's remorse because that is what I want: a real modern mixte designed to be a road bike, not a cruiser, built up with Campy and reasonably wide tires. That is my dream bike!

My husband suggested we go ahead and build up the Smoothie ES and then we can do a component swap once the Soma mixte is out, assuming it comes in my size, and I can sell the Smoothie frame. (I've already paid for the Smoothie.)
