I did get it powder coated! And that is the original fork for my soma buena vista! It came out way more awesome than I expected. The handling is great too! Speedy and relaxed at the same time. I always get questions when I am out and about.
Thanks! I love my bike! And my friends are tempted to bike too because my bike is so cool!
Oh right, I forgot your bike was a Soma. For some reason I was thinking Linus, but that fork is clearly much nicer than a Linus fork! (And the downtube looked beefier than a Linus)
These are my 1984 Cannondale SM600 (24"/26" wheels) and 1985 Bianch Tipo Corsa. I built both myself when I was with a bike shop in Long Island, NY. They have had a few "upgrades" and are still in great shape.
(For some reason, I can't get these pics to display any larger...any suggestions??)

I've been riding this electric assist recumbent trike, manufactured in North Carolina, for the past year...48AmpHrs of battery storage combined with a 4,000 watt motor gets me about 120 mile range (while peddling) and flattens out the hills here in Colorado Springs nicely. This model holds the Pikes Peak hill climb speed record for a HPV with battery assist under 100 pounds.
I built this from parts. Spent over a year collecting them all.
$2400.
Frame is 7005 aluminum
Crank, hubs, seat post, bottom bracket are Miche
Brakes - Campagnolo
Brake levers, headset - Cane Creek
Bag is Walnut Studiolo
