I just purchased a San Marcos 51cm in 650b for my girlfriend at the Soma website sale. She does not know this yet and I'm gonna try to build it in secret, although that will be hard. I was not planning on buying one, it was an impulse purchase while looking through the website.
Hope she likes it. -Dave J VA On Thursday, April 25, 2013 10:00:33 PM UTC-4, hsmitham wrote: > > Hey Joe, > > My Brother has a San Marcos with a Campy Athena build, Velo Orange ( I > think?)
