I’m currently running the Juice (Tange version) and I don’t have any major complaints. As you probably know the frame is pretty versatile as it can run disks and v-brakes and also being capable of both ss and geared. The sizing soma gives on their website is a little off from my specs (running a little smaller). Also the frame weight was lighter than mentioned on their site. If you do a search in the 29er forum there are some mixed reviews on this particular frame and also some welding issues others encountered. All-in-all I’m happy with the frame as it’s pretty compliant and holds lines well. For the money it’s not a bad buy.

Did anybody have an issue trying to find a seat collar that would fit the 29.8 tube? & what collars are people using its all that stands between me & a ride on the soma this weekend.
