I saw that earlier - it's a damn good deal, especially cos the seller has listed it as hi-ten steel when in fact it is double butted and either 631 or Tange Prestige

tange prestige. that is a steal at that price http://www.somafab.com/rush.html

^Ooohhh - someone buy it!!!
wheres sano / rosie?

Object Only if he nicked them from a shop!

Judging by the rest of the stuff they had on sale it looks like it was a clearance company.

did they have anything else worth looking at? Bike bits? more forks?

No more bike bits. I'd have posted a link if he did :]

Do you need towel rails per chance?

Towel rails? yes please (seriously)

mmmmmmmmm..... towel raiiillllls..... :P

damn, i've got the cash for that soma, but its my girlfriends' birthday on monday.

Girlfriend vs. N+1

Life's current dilemma.

Go heated rails for the bling option.

Gooooo-on snowy, gerrit, buy her some flowers or tell her your happiness is the best gift she could ask for :P

buy it for her, then she'll not ride it and it's yours

Yeah, already done that last option. Twice. So i've the lovely baby blue geared bike with the *conveniently *stuck high seat post and the mini polo bike (which to be honest, she does ride, but its got a stupid low gearing, so its only suitable as a local bike), both of which were bought for her, but seem to be ridden by me on a regular basis.

She needs a shopper. A blinged shopper. Then I can get into the world of sturmey hubs. Oh and baskets. I've got a hankering for baskets.

And i've a heap of bikes to sell too, which may cover the cost of the soma. Hmm, i'll be off to buy the present, and then check the bank balance. Thank you all for providing empirical proof of the N+1 theory.

Some more cheap forks: be quick!

I kind of bought it. Sorry :(

Thank you Prav...

Buy those carbon forks too!
rosie don't apologise as you are currently bikeless... violins ..snowy is a collector ;-)

I might just use the forks off my Pinarello, they'd go nicely. Hrrrrm. Now for some ridiculous coloured wheels.

Hope you enjoy it Rosie!

Don't worry, I was thinking over it as I wandered through brixton shopping (incidentally, double braked pista spotted outside Barnardos) and realised that it wasn't to be mine. As Prav said, I've got enough (unfinished) bikes not to need to buy a new one. Just sharpened my resolve to go and buy some white bar tape tomorrow morning... oh and a new open pro rim, and some spokes, and a tube, and a white saddle, etc. etc.

haaa- there are some gold Deep-v up for sale by someone I think?.. Black/ purple/ gold..

BRM Some more cheap forks: be quick!

Isn't that for an integrated headset though? Gawd only knows what his reserve is too

provenrad haaa- there are some gold Deep-v up for sale by someone I think?.. Black/ purple/ gold..

Smeeeeeeeeeeeeeeear! :)
