Any info on that particular model or Somec in general would be greatly appreciated. thanks Hello, Somec store is located 20 miles from my house and still does great business. They have been in business since the early '70s They are not very loved by other bike shops as apparently they must have some "special source" of parts and they managed to keep prices insanely low in the last 5-10 years, and that apparently put several other bike shops out of business. They have been sponsoring several amateur teams until a couple of years ago. Not sure they speak English, but you can find some info he http://www.somec.com/ Original owner is still there, so somebody will certainly remember your frame. Up until the late 90s they used to outsource their (steel + alu) frames to a local framebuilder called Dalfiume, who is now building frames with his own name (I've got one Dalfiume). But now Somec does like most companies, they buy alu frames from Asia, and carbon fiber frames from either Dedacciai or Columbus and they have other companies assemble the tubings (and paint them) locally. Then they assemble the whole bicycles in their facilities. Ciao Luca |

It's akin to Independent Fabications in the US. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somec |

Or actually making fun of a catalog I saw once that spouted baloney about Mr. Somec etc etc. Won't name the vendor as I think it's changed ownership since that nonsense. -- JT **************************** Remove "remove" to reply Visit http://www.jt10000.com **************************** |
