Also you can add bar ends for more hand pozish. It is my chillin/bad weather bar set-up of choice.

Well, I'm in a predicament now. Seeing as the Soma Rush frame I ordered was out of stock in the khaki green color I wanted, I'm forced to reconsider what I'm going to get if anything.
You can only get the Khaki Green from Somafab now and it costs $389.99
A white one can be had from Tree Fort Bikes for $337.95
I just don't consider myself much of a white frame kind of guy. The lame part is the shop with the out of stock green rush had it listed at $255.41. No wonder they're all sold out. Should I donate plasma and sell my kidney to make up for the extra $135 the green would cost, pay the extra $83 for the white one that doesn't excite me as much, or do something else. If anyone knows a place that has the green in 57cm for less than 390, lemme kno!

If you don't like the white one (datsracist.gif) then just wait until the green one comes back in stock. If you are going to drop 3 over benjamins on a frame then get what you want.

Soma commissions 200-300 of each model of frame manufactured per year (https://www.somafab.com/faqs). With two colors and 7 sizes each that means there are probably less than 20 green 57cm rushes in the world. I'm assuming what they have left in their warehouse is what's left.
