to get a really great deal on a Somec. On paper, or at least via electrons, they look like pretty
good bikes. Anybody know if there is a model comparable to the Trek, or actually, where I can find
out anything whatsoever about them before I go down and try one? Some info at the URL below.

Wiped it out in a crash in 1986. If they are still in business, it is probably because they continue
to make a nice product. Back in the day, they were made in Italy (Turin?). Somec was short for
"Society Meccanista" or the Italian equivalent of Society of Mechanics. One distinguishing feature
of the frames back then is that they were entirely chromed under the paint - prevented rusting (very
useful for training through a Scottish winter, where roads are covered with a liquid mixture of
water and sheep [censored]). Good luck
