Mike came to us with a unique request: a road bike with bullhorns. He worked with Tom on the idea and they ended up using a Soma Smoothie steel frame with downtube shifters.
Soma Smoothie build up with Shimano 105 components.
A little Soma headbadge action with detail of Nitto bullhorns and Paul levers.
Just goes to show you–anything goes if you’ve got the vision and the drive to make your dream bike come true.
We have a beautiful slightly used Guerciotti Road Bike for sale with Campy 10 speed Components. Size is 52cm square. Stop by and check it out, great deal at $1500.
Cinelli is releasing an affordable road bike to their stable for 2011. The Gazzetta della Strada is based off the popular Gazzetta from 2010 but this one is built as a geared road bike instead of single speed or fixed. It is aimed directly at the urban rider who commutes or goes out on longer distance road rides but doesn’t need race level parts or carbon fiber. The frame is made out of double butted Columbus tubes and can be bought frame only for custom builds or bought as a complete with Cinelli and Shimano components. No word on pricing yet, but it sounds like there will be 3 color options. We’ll keep you updated as we get more info and maybe start a pre-order in the near future.
Back in the day I had to bike 40 miles to school and back… Now you can get your parents to shut up and toss them the Dolomiti, Bianchi’s retro road bike while keeping them updated with the proper matching apparel.
