[UPDATE]: RIP this Soma Rush. I had an accident that ruined the frame and fork so I ended up parting out what I could over the summer of '12. Soma helped me out a TON by giving me a discount on a crash replacement frame. Good people! See my other bikes for details. My first track frame. Loving it so far! Weighs in at 18lbs on the dot. I'm a bit of a weight weenie but I don't think I'll get it under 17lbs for fear of it becoming impractical.

Saddle/Seatpost:
