Hi there,

Thanks for the site - several of the bikes have provided inspiration for the new build in the pictures here. I wanted a bike for the 2-3 hour Sunday morning exercise/exploration/relaxation ride and feel this turned out about right, smooth and comfortable.

Parts list:
-SOMA Smoothie ES 62cm frame
-IRD unicrown steel fork, 43mm rake, Cane Creek headset
-Salsa Delgado cross rims, 36h, Ultegra hubs and Jack Brown 700x33.3mm tyres
-IRD B57 brakes with Tektro R200 and RL720 levers
-Nitto Noodle bars, 48cm, with 90mm Velo Orange stem and Zoom stem extender
-Brooks B17 special on Nitto Crystal Fellow seatpost
-Sugino XD500 crank with 48/36/24 chainrings, MKS sneaker pedals
-IRD bottom bracket, 110mm
-Shimano Sora front and 105 rear derailleurs, Silver friction shifters
-Shimano 11-28 cassette

regards,
