That picture is so funny! Would you mind if I used it in my blog?
Thanks!
I still have problems when I shift the front; shifting to a harder a gear sometimes causes total lost of traction, and I just have to frantically hit the shift up & down until something catches. I've learned to live with it by staying on the middle cog at all times, I don't' really to shift there anyway.

I still ride my mixte; the soma is my commuter and the mixte is everything else. I don't let the soma out of my sight (I keep my bike inside at work). I can lock the mixte to a random stop sign until 1:00am.

I can't even remember where I found that photo, so I guess you could put it up and wait to see if anyone want's a credit or for you to take it down.

And Grey, I do call the soma The Secretary. I was describing my bikes to an uptight friend of mine, I told him "I love my old bike, it's a total tank and so much fun! It's my wifey. The new bike is much newer, hotter, faster...twitchier too. It's like my hot secretary".
