Soma San Marcos Frames Back In Stock

Build from FreeRange Cycles (Seattle) from the first run.

Our main distributor Merry Sales has all sizes in stock. They will be shipping backorders this week to shops and other distributors. Thanks for everyone's patience.
The San Marcos is our sport touring frame set featuring Rivendell lugs and designed by the man behind Rivendell Bicycle Works, Grant Petersen.

New to the Soma Shop. Cardiff Ltd. is now doing bags. The Killgetty Roll Bag can be used as a bar bag or a seatbag. And will look great on a Soma frame. Heavy weight water-resistant cotton canvas with leather accents.

Also newly available just in time to stuff a stocking or two is this MKS t-shirt that collects 10 of its more interesting pedals they've made over the years. Can you ID them all? In heather gray or black standard fit t-shirts.

Xinjiang Traffic Jam

Eleanor Moseman and her Soma Saga made their way into the city of Urumqi this week -- in Xinjiang Province in Western China.
And she shared this video on her Facebook page. (Gets more interesting at the 50s mark)
The place is generally very arid so I am surprised to see all the snow. You may remember this is the place with all the riots a couple years back between the native Uighurs and the Chinese. Xinjiang is also where they filmed The Kite Runner, though that was in a different city. "After 10,000 miles toured and 3 years lived in China, Urumqi gets my vote for the best city with night markets and street food."

Stumptown Coffee Rules

Thank you Stumptown Coffee Roasters for the thoughtful anniversary gift!!! They sent us some of their Hair Bender, which brings together coffees from three major producing regions (Indonesia, Latin America and East Africa) to provide the individual components of this complex sweet and savory blend which yields flavors of milk chocolate, caramel, jasmine, meyer lemon, apricot and pineapple. Sound great even though I don't know what a meyer lemon is. They also sent a jar of Finca El Injerto (from Guatemala).
