Soma Fabrications Mini Velo

Leafy

My new bike. I won it at the SFBC Winterfest. I was intrigued by the mini format after seeing the Bruno bike. I saw a couple at Bike Expo in a FGFS spec. So when I saw the Soma at Winter fest I got excited and decided to bid.

I now own a Mini Velo and I love it! feels a little familiar because of my bmx bikes as far as handling. I have commuted with it and will continue to do so. I am currently looking for fenders that will fit it (20") and not cost a lot. Any suggestions?

Here are a couple more pics

  2. I won the auction at $700.:D The Schwinn route may work. Although I am trying to keep it light.

  5. Is that a Soma brand rack or aftermarket? It looks great.

    1. 3 year late reply. :) It's a Nitto rear rack. It moves from bike to bike.
