ha! :) I was actually speaking to Mal (my gf) about it and she wouldn't let me sell it!
She said, and I quote "It's almost part of the family. You can't sell it!"

The Soma does have bottle mounts which would help on longer rides.. but, damnit! I want a new road bike!

Decisions.. decisions..

RPM · 28th May 2007

stick on cable guides.

soma's heavy innit?

otherwise get it.

Looks like it. No problem though. Just like cable protectors and less wear than cable ties, etc.
It has brake mounts but no brake cable guides..

19lbs.. 8.5kg It's lighter than my road bike by a long way. I'm not really sure what most fixies build weights are but I weigh over 90kg so weight isn't an issue.
In fact, something more solid (usually meaning heavier) is typically better.
It'd be almost double the cost of the Raleigh though.. :S

glow · 28th May 2007

i want the rollers you're selling roberto!

RPM · 28th May 2007

oh right, I thought I'd read something about them being really heavy, but that's a feather.

just get it and love it, be mean to it, sleep with it.

aidan:i just saw a black nitto stem go for 99p on ebay....its a crime!

That must be the same one as I got a while back for the same price... The guy must have a whole crate of them somewhere! I like it, but really it's about 10mm too short for me.

dicki · 29th May 2007

£395 quid for a litespeed frame got to be a winner

who was after an Argos??

hippy · 4th June 2007

Surely a name change for that builder is in order?

hippy · 4th June 2007

Coffee anyone?

RPM · 4th June 2007

did he really want his bars that high, or is he afraid to cut the fork steerer tube?

TheBrick(Tommy) · 7th June 2007

I am sure it is a nice bike but I don't like it.

dt · 7th June 2007

I like it - always had a soft spot for cut-away seat tubes. Don't like the forks though (or the price)

TheBrick(Tommy) · 7th June 2007

Yeah change of forks and drops or flat bar would make a world of difference.

hippy · 7th June 2007

Fugly ain't it? Saddle wrong, risers = wrong, forks = ugly.

dicki · 7th June 2007

i've heard those ellsworth are very pricey / very good can't say i've ever seen one in the flesh

the look of that bike is a bit odd though

Roberto · 8th June 2007

Hippy, buy stuff like frames from Australia is quite allright since their shipping fees are very cheap (less than £20 to send a frame by sea mail). But frames like that one are really old, and damn heavy!

Roberto · 8th June 2007

Roberto · 8th June 2007

Some nice SS wheels:

Roberto · 8th June 2007

Oh my check the price - £1,166.96!!!

big mummy smeear · 8th June 2007

I don't need them, but the price is so silly right now that I'll bid. If they stay below £80 I'll carry on bidding. At that price they're a bargain. Beyond that, well I don't need them.

litmus73 · 8th June 2007

Any one else think this is a fake?

Me as well, i don't need them, never even rode a SS, but hmm nice wheels, seller in UK, i got so tempted to bid!

Hey David you should put the eBay/Craiglist forum on the top of the main page!
