Use it in the city and also at the NCR trail. Love the ride, looks, brakes ( I am 6 feet and 280 lbs). Gears not my favor but a great bike over all I ride a SOHO (retail $1200) paid $750 a YEAR ago at the local TREK dealer in Cockeysville MD (they still have some left).

The bike is awesome but I originally thought the single speed would be a benefit and it turns out it is a slight drawback for my commuting needs. I average 14 mph on the bike but could probably average 17-19 on a 21 speed. I'll probably be buying a bigger sprocket soon. I have been riding a Soho S 14.5 miles round trip daily for some time now.

Amazing. I put together cheaper than the soho I bet, although it looks identical. I converted a 7.1 fx into a single with LX breaks and new shimano cranks, and origin 8 handlebars. Amazing.

(At Bicycle Habitat in Soho actually, around the corner from where I work.) The deciding factor was the aluminum, lighter is better here in NYC with flights of stairs and ceiling mounts and such. Minimalism to me is having less bike, and more biking. Less dogma, more free wheeling. Peace. I just picked up a Soho S. (At Bicycle Habitat in Soho actually, around the corner from where I work.)

It works and it works well. One may pay more and often get more but this one is rather good and it will hold up. I have a steel bike I am building and it will be great when done, but even so, I will ride the Soho a lot even then. Yes a heavy load in a basket will upset the handling. the trick is not to go too far. One get what one pays for, is often said, however in this case less is more. It works and it works well.

Some people say that steel has a better riding feel than aluminum, not as harsh. I have to agree that my steel bikes are nicer... Niko,

What is the big deal about aluminum vs. steel? Is it really going to bend out of alignment on me? I was going to buy the Soho S, but now not too sure....

But has anyone seen the Gary Fisher "Triton", what are you're thoughts on this bike compared to the Redline 9.2.5.?

I know because I came quite close of buying that first gen. one (not fixed of course) with 105s shimano shifters and ultegra derailer,or viceversa; but wat almost sold me is OF COURSE the coffee mug thats included in the bottle cage.
