My Soma Rush, pics from this last weekend while doing a loop of Lake Tahoe.
Started at Squaw Valley then rode clockwise 50 miles to South Lake Tahoe on Day 1 then rode 46 miles back to Squaw Valley on Day two, 96 mile fixed gear loop around the lake. That was an insane ride...

I've driven that in a car. HOW on earth did you do that with one ratio?

It was a very difficult ride but the experience was totally worth it. I had to stop and rest often since I had to keep my momentum when climbing which meant pushing hard. I had to walk two steep hills but besides that it was slow and painful but doable.

Current squeeze. Every time I consider selling it, I hop on and daily it for a couple weeks and remember why it's so fun.
Fat tires, full fenders, wide bars and some basket goodness for all that modern day hip.

Wald 137 to a VO Pass Hunter is the exact setup I got too and I wouldn't change it for the world.
If you ever want an upgrade I'd say look into getting some better brakes, the stock ones are horrible. The CX9s I've got are arguably the best performing brakes in my fleet.

Thanks man. But yeah that definitely helped climbing. I do need to lower them now that I'm back to riding on flat ground.
