Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Seriously, I wish it were my size so I could rip around on it.

Bars are Nitto B302AA.

And they look great without OURY MTB grips.

If anyone wants a pair of those Nitto 302aa's, PM me. I've got a like new set I put on a townie for my wife and she wasn't into them. Siting in the parts bin (in their original plastic to ward off scratches).

Thought I'd show off my lil beast. I pretty much bought all the components and frame from RG. It was time for me to upgrade from my '12 Fuji classic and once I saw Mrs.Scrod's Rush I dug up info on Soma Fabrications and how they manufacture their quality bikes at a dam reasonable price. Love this bike and already has about 150 miles on it since getting it in March.

If you're not dead set on those pursuit bars, you could replace them with some standard bullhorns and take out a few more of those spacers.

The gate behind the bike did me a confuse for a second there...thought the bike had a flask cage and wasn't sure how many tubes the frame had. Really nice looking bike, though those bars seem super deep.

That's an insane amount of reach paired with no saddle-to-bar drop. You must be proportioned like a praying mantis.

It's like whack-a-mole with the top tube pads around here these days.

Makes it more comfortable to sit on the top tube when you have to reach the brakes.

This might be against forum etiquette, and I might not be able to find one, but I'm looking for a new Soma Rush frame, 57cm in CHROME.
