Soma Doublecross - R.I.P.

fortunately, they did. I did get some jersey burn on my shoulder and some cuts on my right leg and arm though.

Unfortunately, no luck yet. Soma has been impossible to contact, and Bikeworks has been real slow to try to work things out for me. I'm really not happy with either of them right now.

Well Soma had finally agreed to take a look at the headtube. They sent an RA number and all for it, so I was getting pretty excited that they would in fact send me a new frame. Unfortunately, they determined that it was not warrantable due to "crash damage". I personally don't see how you could have a headtube separate from a frame without signs of "crash damage"... I personally feel Bikeworks didn't press the issue nearly enough. I actually had to call them a few times to remind them to mail out the headtube. Don't get me wrong, it's a great shop, I'm just pretty sure the staff are out on another planet sometimes. I also think Soma really dropped the ball as far as communication goes. I sent numerous emails to them directly prior to taking it up through bikeworks with no reply. Overall a very unpleasant experience.

Thank you. I thought it was black when I first got it, as well. Certainly wasn't what I thought of when I heard British Racing Green. However, when the sunlight shines right on it, you can see a green sparkle to it. Good luck with your build.

It was quite a shock to see the pic of your bike in its current state, I remember it being a really elegant build. Looks like some really sketchy welds to me.

Thank you for the kind comments on the build. I really thought it had come out well, too. I'm also glad I'm not the only one who thinks the welds were sub-par.
