Soma Buena Vista Mixte

[gruppo]

I waded through this thread and read the chatter concerning Soma mixte sizing & fit. Let me preface my remarks by saying I am a bike shop owner and have a sizeable female customer base (I've built road, cross, mtb, singlespeed, touring, TT, and commuter/town bikes for dozens of women and all were frame up builds - no bikes out of a box.)

And I just finished a Buena Vista for a woman who plans to pick it up shortly (I'll post some photos soon). In order to possibly start a bit of a dialogue I'll lead off by saying that a majority of the fears, comments, concerns, and what ifs, etc., about the Buena Vista not being suitable for women are simply unfounded and unfortunate.

You may find the majority of these "fears, comments, concerns, and what ifs, etc.," are from several years ago. Before Buena Vistas were widely available and were still an unknown quantity. It is an old thread.

There are several women on this forum who have since purchased Buena Vistas without incident.

A hale and hearty welcome to TE Let's see the bike.

I wasn't sure whether to start a new thread, or hope people are still looking at this one. I'm just looking for any updates to the Soma purchases. How are they, how's the ride, the fit? All that. As long as it's still snowing, I'm still at the computer, looking at all the potential purchases.

I got one, too. My husband bought me the frame for our anniversary in March, but I am still collecting the various pieces I need to build it up. I can't wait to ride it but it'll be awhile still.
