Soma Fabrications Mini Velo
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
Thanks to the SFBC, Soma Fabrications, Planet Bike, and Brad at American Cyclery.

i love it! how much did you win it for? for fenders, maybe some old schwinn 20 inchers from ebay or some new repos from a lowrider shop. not lite, but purty. also ask dave- i bet he has some for you.
ReplyDeleteI won the auction at $700.:D The Schwinn route may work. Although I am trying to keep it light.
ReplyDeleteI just tried to tuck some Wald medium weight ones in there. No dice.
ReplyDeleteFinally got McCauley fenders. Win! Pics on the blog soon.
ReplyDeleteIs that a Soma brand rack or aftermarket? It looks great.
ReplyDelete3 year late reply. :) It's a Nitto rear rack. It moves from bike to bike.
DeleteDo you by any chance still have this bike?
