Anyone ride one of these yet? I currently have a Soma B side v3 with a Salsa Firestarter fork. I love that bike. Would be nice to have a longer headtube (so I could use standard Jones H bars in stead of the Jones 2.5 bars) and bigger tire capacity (although I have heard reports of people running 2.8s on a B Side). Size for size it has longer reach, a lower BB drop, longer headtube, and surprisingly a steeper HTA. That last one boggles me. I would think you would prefer a slacker HTA (the B Side has a 68/69). Anyways what say you guys?

There is a strong possibility I will let my ambitions die down and I am not sure I even want to pull the plug. That Soma's been my baby for 4 years now. I would have to sell something to afford a new frame. It's always fun to window shop though..... Smiley
