2016 Soma Smoothie

Greg here:

This is my new Soma Smoothie.  I was hit by a Ford F150 while riding my Scott CR1 off Rt. 5 on Novemeber 6, so that bike ate it.  The CR1 has always been one of my favorite bikes that I have ever ridden, owning 2 over the past 8 years.  I hated to part ways with it, but what can you do? 

I am eyeing a new 2017 Jamis Xenith Team to satisfy my carbon obsession, so I decided to take the Shimano Dura Ace 9000 components that made it out of the crash alive and put them on a steel frame.  All the steel frame options available required longer reach brakes, except for the Soma Smoothie, so the Smoothie was chosen.  I added the Liquid Components 50mm carbon clinchers to finish off the package. 

Now as soon as these broken ribs heal I will ride.....
