There must be beauty in that frame to many eyes, but it escapes me. But then, I'm turning 60 in 3 weeks, and officially entering curmudgeonhood.

My favorite ride in the last 10 years has now been replaced with the next size up.

To abbreviate the way they're normally set up, the Sam's got a 40/24 12-36 drivetrain, 35c Soma New Xpress tires, front rack/basket/Shopsack. The Soma's got a 48/34 11-34 drivetrain, 35c Schwalbe Marathon Racers, front rack, front and rear Sackville bags. Anyway, I always assumed that my Soma was kind of a lightweight go-fast bike with it's fancy Tange Prestige tubing and slightly more aggressive geometry (shorter chain stays anyway). Compared to the Sam, it just takes off like crazy and feels incredibly quick and nimble. Lo-and-behold, I got one of those hook scale things today, and the total weight of each bike was 35lbs for the Sam and 31lbs for the Soma. I thought it was the weight that explained the difference in feel, but clearly that's not the case. Both are equally pleasurable to ride, but there must be far more factors involved in the overall "feel" of each bike than I might have guessed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
