    Do you need the money? Do you have the room to store it?....If your answers are no and yes....keep it and be happy.....use your road bike and await fatherhood and focus on how happy that is going to make you and your partner....because i'm telling you it will!

    It's not the money, it's more the fact it's stored in the bedroom along with some other bike stuff, taking up a cot sized space :) I don't want to stick it in the shed for fear of it getting damaged, so it's best it goes to a good home.

    Cheers for the kind words guys. Making me tempted to keep it stashed away and build it up a few years down the line now!

    Whats the fit like for you?

    I'm 5'11 ..

    I couldn't say as I never built it up. I brought it based on the previous owner being 5'10 and he said it fitted him pretty much spot on.

    Lovely bike.. Been after one of these for a while now..

    I'm not sure on the size though, whats your height?

    Cheers, I'm 5ft9 in old money, or 175cm in modern terms

    Many thanks for the wishes. I've still got my normal road bike for riding purposes when it comes to getting some time to myself :)

    Up for sale here is my Soma Rush I was planning on building up one day, but pending fatherhood has put that on the backburner.

    Frame Spec;
    55cm (centre - top), top tube 55 (c-c), 74.5deg head, 75.3deg seat angles,
    38.8cm chainstays, 96.6cm wheelbase.
    Tange Prestige CR-MO db tubing
    Drilled front & rear for brakes: bottle cage bosses
    1in Head tube
    27.2mm seat tube
    English threads
    120mm rear spacing
    Max tyre size 700 X 28c approx.
    Weight 4lbs

    The frame is fitted with Soma Tange Infinity Track Forks with a Tange threaded Headset. Total weight, frame,forks and headset 2.56kg.

    The frame is in an overall good condition in my opinion. In the interests of honesty there is one small paint chip mark on the top (last pic), and a few tiny marks on the underside (2nd to last). Obviously has marks from where wheels have been fitted. Apart from that it's pretty A1. Hopefully the pictures will show condition.

    The frame is approximately 3 years old, and is now discontinued by Soma in this colour. They do still have a few in stock I believe, with RRP being $530 including the forks. Then you'd have shipping on top of that. Taking this into account I'm asking £160ono.

    Collection from either Sheerness or Rainham in Kent, or I can bring up to Mile End Climbing Wall in east London on a Tuesday/Thursday evening if it helps.

    Thanks

    TMag, I can't PM yet as I'm still in 'nursery' mode.

    Best to mail me on scottsimons@hotmail.com to sort it all out.

    Cheers
