Soma bikes
Re: Soma bikes
I've seen the frame for sale on eBay in a variety of sizes. It's quite nice isn't it?
I'm sure Mosquito Bikes in London used to stock Soma.

Re: Soma bikes
I have a SOMA ES, purchased as a frameset from the USA via Ebay a couple of years ago. I can dig out the details if you're interested when I'm at home. Even with the import duties it was considerably cheaper than buying in the UK, though of course it's a long way to send it back for any warranty issues. If you go this route I think you may be lucky at the moment with the exchange rate, also I think import rates for complete bikes are higher than for parts, though I’m not sure where I got that from. There is a UK distributer, who's name escapes me, I'm sure I have the details somewhere.
I've been very happy with the bike in every way except the paint which seems to fall off if you look at it the wrong way, the money saved will easily pay for a decent powder coat.
