However, I'm a girl and I want it to be pretty! A black, gold, and white bike demands some of the parts to be color coordinated. A photo on the soma site shows the frame built with a wood grain design on deep v's that just kills me... @Steve A since this is my commuter bike I wanted something that would protect my clothes as much as possible. An internal hub accomplishes that more so than an external gearing, but I'm also considering just making it single speed. The design is still very much so up in the air, so all your suggestions are greatly appreciated! @Brian & Ghost Rider I’m not completely committed to the deep v’s, I might in the end decide to go for something simpler as you suggest.

The design is still very much so up in the air, so all your suggestions are greatly appreciated!

IGH makes a lot of sense even if it isn't snowy or terribly gritty where you live -- and I second Brian's comment about box-section rims. I suppose that depends, of course, on what color Deep Vs you're lookin' at...any hints? That’s lovely…looking forward to the complete build!

I've got an internal hub bike, but the Buena Vista looks a bit sprightlier than that, particularly for the South where the grit is lighter and snow is rare. Internal hub?
