                    <p>So you know, not all the custom bikes we build are from Surly. Say for example, you want a sweet Mixte frame for getting around town and maybe using for kid-hauling duty at some point? That’s just what we built here for customer M.</p>
<p>Behold&#8230; the Soma Buena Vista 650b 1&#215;10 city bike. <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4005" alt="Buena_Vista2" src="../../wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Buena_Vista2.jpg" width="400" height="600"/></p>

<p>M. Wanted a smoooooth ride, so we went with the Soma Buena Vista frame with skinny-tubed Tange Prestige steel frame, and paired it with a set of 650b wheels that just fit the long-reach brakes, even though the frame was designed around 700c wheels.</p>

<p>We set it up with a mid-range Shimano mountain bike drivetrain for hill-conquering durability.</p>
