From the Facebook Martini group.

What a man, what a life and what a legacy.

Thank you for your reply, happy new year!

fantastic interview! thank you for sharing :-)

You're welcome. He is so honest and the way the passion still flows thru...

awesome, makes me a bit sad that i sold my somec track bike years ago

That was a really nice watch, feeling really lucky to own a Martini Somec.

Pleasure. You've shared your Martini in here?

Did you know there's a Facebook group dedicated to his work and he and some member of his family are in it too?

Thanks to @damskodonny. Deserves a full bike picture here;

Proper.

So much color. Love it.

Is that panto "vintage", or did you ask them to do it recently?

Hi Somecians
I’m seriously considering a SLX Somec and wonder how the steel Somec ride is, do they feel fast like a Colnago Master for example? Like they have there own momentum?
Cheers

Lucky for you, this just all going for sale apparently.

Lol beautiful but no doubt 💰💰💰💰

I don't visit LFGSS often enough, totally missed this. But here's my Somec Mercury -95:

That’s really nice 👍

managed to get this bad boy out for a spin tonight

Beautiful. Is that a Somec Elite SX in Columbus SL?

My latest find.
Will be built up with a late Campagnolo Centaur groupset, all silver ultra torque generation.

Fabulous

Looks serious. TT bike, right?

Time trial yep, Sirius model from early 2000s.

Fantastic!

Wow, I can only wish my pun was intended.

Luck of the draw ;)

Well I did buy the frame I was considering a couple of months back, an Elite SX in size shortass. For the moment it's built it up as a second bike with an old 9-speed Ultegra group and some leftover parts, a bike that I don't need to worry about.
Happy to say that it's got the 'momentum' feeling that I was looking for, which I'm sure will please @Sig_Arlecchino lacking in the last few steel frames I've owned.
