We like the thinking of Soma Fabrications: Simple, Professionally Crafted Steel Frames.

In fact, our philosophy of renaissancing fits right into their view of cycling.  We both believe that steel is a great platform for an enjoyable and durable bicycle.  So, if you are into New Skool steel rather than Old School, Soma makes the bike for you.

From the Soma Fabrications website:

“Fun is not complicated. Why should our frames be? No weird geometries, just what we ourselves would like to ride. As for colors and graphics, we’ve made a conscious choice to avoid “race-inspired” billboard-style logos. We find this makes it easier for folks to cover them up with stickers and chewing gum. Just don’t tell that to our graphics guy.”

Renaissance Bicycles offers three of Soma Fabrication’s retro-esque frames:

• The lugged steel Speedster,
• The frame from the Soma time machine, the Buena Vista Mixte.
• And the Soma Saga — the overbuilt frame made for hauling groceries or hauling up scenic mountain passes.

Of course, you can buy these framesets outright, or we can build them up ala carte.  Just contact us with your hopes, dreams, and cycling desires.
