Soma Completed (for now)

Well, I got the Juice all put together. Steve was kind enough to let me use his ENO cranks that were sitting around until he can get his frame built up. We threw on a cheapy shimano square taper bottom bracket until I can scrounge up the money for a Phil Wood Ti BB. I'm really happy with the build and the way it feels just riding around the parking lot. Steel feels so much better than aluminum, if you've never ridden steel (or haven't in a long time) you are missing out!
