Daniel's Saga Touring Build

Hey guys!

My name is Dan Choma, and I volunteer at Lowertown Bike Shop in Saint Paul MN.  I finished my build on my Soma Saga just yesterday and am dumbfounded by how fantastic this frame is.  It’s like it’s not a new bike at all, but rather an old friend that recommends new trips.  This is going to be dangerous: I almost just kept biking on my commute in this morning.  Bravo on the fantastic frame!


PS.  I attached a picture of the bike.  I figured that I’ve sent it to everyone else I know, I might as well send it to the people who made it.  ;)

Gary's Soma Juice


Attached are three I-phone snaps of my new Soma Juice at the Benicia State Recreation Area. The bike is so much fun, and a very different experience from riding my old rigid 26er.


I highly recommend the semi-custom route, where one’s choices of a frame and components are guided by an expert--in this case, mountain bike practitioner and skilled mechanic Tom Hurlbut of American Cyclery in San Francisco. I had a fit issue that had to be accommodated--note the uncut steerer tube, available for further adjustment if necessary. No off-the-shelf bike can give you everything you want and nothing you don’t. Of course it’s more expensive to buy the components a la carte, but the result in my opinion is worth the extra expense, and I doubt I’ll be replacing anything any time soon. And not least, it’s steel!
