I've known about the Soma New Xpress for awhile but assumed it won't be a good choice for me, especially since it's described as being somewhere between the hetre and the col de la vie in "speed."
I stopped by Box Dog Bikes on the way home to pick up a pair of Cypres's. I mounted them and took the bleriot for a spin around the neighborhood. Even on the short ride I noticed a significant difference; much less of that sluggish feeling and almost no hesitation when pedaling out of the saddle. This is promising. I also liked the fact that I can remove and reinstall both wheels without having to deflate the tire. Tomorrow I'll take the bike up some hills to see if that's improved as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
