SALE! Soma B-Side 650B Frame (2010)
One of the only production hardtails available for 650b wheels. The main draws of the 650b wheel for mountain bikes is that it offers slightly more maneuverability in tight situations than 29" wheels and better ability to roll over obstacles/maintain momentum better than 26" wheels. It is quite ideal for those who want big wheel benefits but are on the short side or feel 29ers are a little "unwieldy".
- Disc only
- Build it SS or geared via track style fork ends with derailleur hanger
- Double butted Tange Prestige heat treated CrMo front triangle, double-butted cold-worked CrMo rear triangle
- Suspension corrected for an 80mm White Brothers 650b fork or 100mm 26" wheel suspension fork(455-465mm axle to crown height - that's with sag figured in)
- Very compact frame design with short seat tube in relation to top tube length. 400mm seatpost required. You might find yourself ordering one size down from what you usually ride.
