• Unsolicited Soma Stanyan Review

  “I am a daily commuter and avid recreational cyclist. I've put in 250-300 miles a week on this frame over the past year, so you can consider this a review by someone who has lived with this frame. First off, it has classic, comfortable geometry. It's not lazy, though - it handles quick, but predictable. It's not twitchy at all, and is one of the best descending bikes I've ever rode. Although it's steel, it does not have a noodle-like amount of flex - it's comfortable and forgiving, but climbs well. Best of both worlds. I've ridden a number of centuries on it, and commute in all but winter conditions on it, and it's never let me down. The lug work is beautiful, the paint is a great color and doesn't chip too easily, and the decals have an understated elegance. It's modern, but will please the retrogrouches as well. ”

• Soma Stanyan Class Act

  These days a weekend morning ride usually ends up at a preferred cafe for the caffeinated beverage of choice, but the Soma Stanyan exudes a class that would be better suited to a quiet cognac or a single malt whisky at least 15 years old, a classic wingback leather chair, a pomade shaped hairstyle, a copy of Smith Journal all the while resting your tootsies on an antique Afghan rug.

  650b-Built Stanyan (formerly Speedster)

  Bikeman built up a Speedster (now Stanyan) as a 650b. Here's an excerpt from his review-"The World's First 650Built Soma Speedster. It was quick and simple to build, no modifications of any sort were required to the frame or components. It's great fun to ride, it all works beautifully, and personally, I think it's a sharp looking bike." To read more about how he did it, visit here
