Soma Rush Single-Speed

Soma Rush

Do you like simple choices? Yes or no?

How about a bike that goes when you pedal it and stops when you pull on the brake levers. No need to adjust or figure out how to work your shifters.  Soma understands the appeal of a Yes or No question.  They built their Rush frameset as a simple response to too many choices.

Get a Rush frameset and build it up with the old parts that you have lying around or go new from the ground up.  These frames ride beautifully with springy and strong Tange Prestige steel tubing.  The Rush frameset now comes with two bottle-cage mounts, and the latest iteration is designed around wide tires.  Run up to 35mm tires with medium-reach caliper rim brakes!

Since you’re starting from scratch you can build your Rush sporting road-style handlebars or your favorite upright option.   You can make the bike a fixed gear or have a freewheel for coasting down hills.  You could also do a flip-flop rear hub that lets you choose between coasting or pedaling fixed whenever you feel like switching it around.
