A new model for Soma, the Van Ness
Soma’s model, the Rush had a 1″ headtube while the Van Ness has 1 1/8. A bit of old styling with newer components. Quite nice in white too.
It features Lugged Tange Prestige heat-treated butted CrMo steel front triangle and a butted CrMo rear triangle that can take up to a 28c tire. Not sure about the polished headtube lugs, though. Available through most retailers, since they’re imported into NZ by Wideopen

I dunno man….
these look super pretty with their chromed lugs and all but cable guides
and bottle cage mounts!
Lame-o!
I would still take a rush over one of these
In a way the bottle mount is good. But only so you can bolt on a trixie. Those tools are awesome. I agree about the cable guides. If they were really warranted they could’ve put the plastic or metal removable ones on.
