i'm thinking about getting a soma double cross frame to build up...but it'll probably just get used for commuting/touring. i'm putting together a short list of components to keep the price down, so far i've got the soma frame and fork, probably ultegra bar-ends with whichever generic aero brake levers, i'll probably do like, an older XT rear hub, 7 or 8 speed, whatever's lying around the shop, some old ritchey cantis or the paul's neo-retros, and a sugino XD triple crank. not sure about derailleurs yet. i'm gonna check out the frame on wednesday, i think.
....and i also have to sell my trials bike first....oooor swap the parts except the wheels/steerage/brakes....hmm...i like that idea!! BLESS YOU BIKEFORUMS FOR LETTING ME THINK OUT LOUD AND CONTRIBUTING TO MY BIKE HABIT!@!!!
