My only complaint is that getting the bike on and off the fork-mount bik..." Read Full Review »

Great look, poor quality

"I just purchased the Soho S. Right out of the box it sounded like the freewheel was full of rocks. My local bike shop repacked it with grease and it was briefly better.

Modded, might want fenders. Bullhorns are a must.

"I have had this bike for almost a year now. It's my sole mode of transportation. Overall, I am very happy with the bike.



The positives: It looks amazing. I am always having heads turn to look at the bike. I receive a lot of compliments at the bike rack. It is so light. I kid you not it is lighter …"  Read Full Review »
