YES! The ES's Are Here!

The ES (formerly the "Smoothie ES") is an awesome multi-purpose road frame. While it may not have as quick moves as our Smoothie, it is plenty fun. And what you may give up in race talent, you gain much in other ways.

• More stability on speedy downhills
  
• Steers straight w/o much rider input, which is why it is a great long distance bike
• Ability to take 32c tires, which really can smooth out rough pavemint and reduce fatigue
  
• More room for fenders
• Enough room for smaller panniers (I use grocery panniers on mine)
  

Please note you are not giving up any raw speed. The ES uses the same gauge tubes as the Smoothie and weighs only slightly more (weight difference comes from geometry differences). The ES is the only frame we make in 11 sizes. We also offer 3 different fork options, a carbon fork, a lugged steel fork, and a more affordable unicrown model.

Distributors should be getting theirs in a couple of weeks.

Pake Fixed Gear Frame in New Color

Pake Bikes just posted this pic on their website today. It is a new limited run color they are calling 'Dirty Gold'. Looks beautiful. The Soma Fab Shop wasn't able to get any of their last limited edition run. They gave priority to brick and mortar shops, which we are cool with. We won't be anywhere ourselves without our dealers. But this is so gorgeous. C'mon buds. Hook us up.

For those who have been waiting for Soma Rush's to come back in stock we expect the first batch of the year in less than 2 weeks.
