Bike Build — Soma B-Side 650B
The Big Orange Brawler –
A member of Yards Brewery recently came to us looking for a new bike. He told us that he needed a strong bike that could get him anywhere he needed on the road, but also handle dirt and trails. Other than that, he was pretty open to anything. We suggested the Soma B-Side for the frame and built it from the ground up from there. Check out the photos and part list of this rad build our mechanic Bryan did!
