New IRD Drillium Levers

Some brand new levers from IRD showed up today.


They're calling these the Drillium ZST levers. The shape is similar to the old Campy Ergo levers, and they feature a quick release pin for bikes with wider tires. Pretty sharp! We'll be stocking these in the Soma Store soon.

2014 Juice Update

2014 Frame News!

Our new B-Side has been getting some circulation online lately, but we wanted to let all the 9er fans out there know we didn't forget about you.



Here's a few shots of the Brownstone Soma Juice for 2014. The geometry is unchanged from the 2013 model, but we're going with a tapered head tube to accommodate some of the newer forks on the market these days (Zero Stack upper assembly and an external cup 40.EC44 bottom assembly). Don't worry though, you can still uses a regular steer tube with the correct headset (Zero Stack).


These should be ready to ship in a couple weeks so if you want one of the first batch get in touch with your local Soma dealer and ask them to reserve one for you.

Wheels of Peace Iranian - American Children's Art Project



While the governments of Iran and the USA square off with each other around sanction lifts and nuclear programs, the majority of citizens of both countries on both sides don't care for the politics and power struggles and just want to live peaceful normal lives.

Rick Gunn and Mohammad Tajeran are trying to be the voices of those who desire peace between American and Iran rather than distrust and threat of conflict. That's why they created the "Wheels of Peace Iranian-American Children’s Art Project".
- They've been visiting classrooms in both countries to speak to children about conflict resolution and mutual understanding
- They've been collecting pro-peace artwork and letters from children in both countries
- In a month or so (after they secure enough funding), they will travel by bicycle in Iran sharing the exhibiting the artwork they collected and hold speaking engagements.

That's where people like you come in. If you or your company would like to help, you can donate directly at SoulCycler.com (PayPal-safe!). They hope to wrap up funding before the year's end. 

Another way to help is email Rick (soulcycler(at)yahoo.com) to purchase prints of his photos from his travels around the world.

Rick Gunn has explored over 33 countries on bike and have taken
thousands of photos. He a photojournalist by trade.
