These aren't going to be available until later this month, but I thought you all might like to see the sample for the new Stanyan paint scheme.

Iggy Wheelsets
Internal gear hubs are neat. They give you all the
functionality of gears with the simplicity of a single speed drivetrain. Our
Iggy wheelsets use Sturmey Archer hubs and come in a variety of speeds and
wheel sizes.
From a maintenance perspective an internal gear hub makes a lot of sense because the mechanism is sealed from the elements. It’s also allows you to fit a chain guard to protect your pants from med and grease.
Lots of people have put
them on road and track bikes to convert them into more commuter friendly city
bikes. If you happen to have a single speed it’s very simple to add an
internally geared wheel. They also work great on geared bikes when used with a
chain tensioner.

Using a dual pulley tensioner like the Paul Melvin allows you
to run a front derailleur and increase your range.
There are now several
shifter options depending on which style of bar you choose. We offer a matching front wheel in both 700c and 26" as well.

Ewald 257GB Multi-fit Rack
Check out what arrived at Soma HQ today! Wald's new cargo rack.
This thing is sweet! We've talked about Wald stuff before, and this rack is one of the coolest products they've ever put out. We've seen couriers hack off the tops of Wald delivery baskets so we asked Wald if they could make a sturdier option that would fit all our bikes. And this is the result.
The clamp is adjustable to fit 25.4 to 31.8 bars. The stays are adjustable too, so you can get the platform at the right angle.
This thing measures a generous 19" wide by 13" long. The front of the basket is open it can accept large objects like long boxes. You can use bungee straps to keep them in place. The rails on the sides keep your load from slipping off when you make a turn. This rack is great for pizza boxes or if you want to attach a storage container to it. You could even attach a Wald Giant Delivery basket and have an extra sturdy setup.

Wald is one of the oldest companies still in the business, and one of the very few companies making affordable american made products. You can read about Grandpa Ewald and the history of the Wald company on their website here http://waldsports.com/index.cfm/waldheritage.html. We will be getting a big shipment of these racks as soon as they are available, so stay tuned.
