I spy...a slew of new wares at the Somafab storefront!

We've had a busy month here! It's pretty exciting, lots of awesome new products in the Soma store... So, seriously, if you're really burnt out at work or just generally playful, I propose a game of "I Spy"..

I spy with my little eye:

Cardiff Leather Top Tube Protector (with brass snaps-yesss)

Soma Ensho Electric Saddles (there are 6 different colors...bear with me here, they've got some ridiculous/kinky names)

*Dom(inatrix) Black-inspired by the recent Folsom Street fair, oh snap..
*Mutha of Pearl-I've had this one on my bike for the last few weeks and it's had lots of admirers..it's the belle of the freakin ball.
*Gloss Red-this one is mounted on the NEW Soma ZO seatpost. The seatpost also comes in silver and black.
*Blue Snakeskin-made from Vince Neil's old pants
*Acid Orange
*Anti-Freeze Yellow-it glows...

Pake RMX Stem Inspired by Nitto's old MT-16 BMX stem; great stem for fixed gear freestyle or BMX

Pake Alloy Track Frameset! Lightweight butted aluminum frame with no goofy shapes matched to a carbon fork that’s raked for track-like handling, but it will still take brakes. Don’t call this one ‘tarck’. It would love some time in the velodrome.

Cardiff Leather Bar Tape We've got seamless and seamed. Both awesome of course, no seams means no fraying!

Palmy ULocks in Black and White I like these the best of the bunch..

Seatcap Latex Seat Cover Who else is going to protect your leather saddle from Father Winter?!

Pake Urban Chains 1/8", 4 colors, snazzy...

Cardiff Saddles in Moss Green We've got the Mercia saddle (copper rivets) and Cornwall (steel rivets) in Moss Green.

And the Cardiff Leather Trouser Strap With reflective area like other trouser straps...but since its leather you could keep it on during your business lunch at the Four Seasons. I think.

Thanks for playing, it was fun...and if you don't feel like sorting through the store to find these treasures, don't worry, they're all in the new stuff section..

New Models of Cardiff Saddles In Stock

A couple months back, we added to the Soma Shop a few of Cardiff's first model, the "Cambria", a 150mm wide model, whose silhouette reminds us of a Brooks "Swallow".
Now Cardiff sends us the "Cornwall", "Mercia" and "Wessex". The leather shell is the same shape on all three, so the models are only differentiated by the type of rivets and rails. We have to say they are all quite handsome. The cowhide is thick and durable. Hardware is simple and sturdy. One guy here has been riding one of these for 2 months. He had re-adjust the tightness once and recommends maybe adding some low strength lock-tite to the threads.

The Cardiff "Cornwall" (Standard steel rivets, chrome plate CrMo rails; the most affordable of the three at $80.00)

The Cardiff "Mercia" (with hammered copper plated rivet and copper-plated rails. $100)

The Cardiff "Wessex" (chrome-plated coil spring model, $100)

The adjustment is handled by an Allen key. There is also wrench to hold the nut in place while turning the adjustment bolt.
