Alex's G'Rando by Back Alley Bikes


Hey there,

I just wanted to share the Soma Grand Randonneur build I've been rolling on the past six months or so. Special thanks to Back Alley Bike Repair and Swift Industries of Seattle for getting me set up!

Rubber side down,

Alex

Soma Buena Vista Fashion Shoot Photos



We are quite happy to see Iva Jean Clothing showing off a Buena Vista mixte bike in the latest promotion of their upcoming line. Iva Jean made a splash in the cycling world with chic tailored clothing that looked great at the office and functioned well on a bike. Her new line of minimalistic, versatile staples will be sewn in Seattle.

The previous line had been funded personally, through a line of credit from a fellow bike enthusiast, and a 2013 Kickstarter Campaign. In order to grow Iva Jean, they need your support.
Your contributions will fund:
  • Sourcing and purchase of fabric and product hardware
  • Production of six new styles including the City Legging, City Trouser, Raglan Short and Long Sleeve, Racer Tank and Tunic
  • Continued development of new garments.
Please check out her Kickstarter page for the details and support them if you are so enticed. 
(Soma did not provide this bike for the shoot. The Buena Vista happens to be Iva Jean creative director, Anna DeOtte Kaufman's personal ride. It was built by Back Alley Bike Repair in Seattle. For 2014, the BV is available to bike shops as a frame set or complete bike.)

Another Grand Randonneur from Seattle

Chris @ Rosebud sent us this excellent build he put together.


It strikes a nice balance between old and new style components. I especially like the Nitto Craft quill stem, Nitto Campee mini rack, fluted Honjo fenders, Green Mercia saddle and Grand Bois Hetre extra leger tires. Should be a sporty and fun little bike!
