This is my First Full Bike Build. After spotting it on the Net i just had to have the frame.

Both Fuerte Bici and Soul bikes were a joy to deal with.

    Great looking bike! Is the ribble winter bike now?
    It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.

    That's the nicest bike I've never heard of before! Do like the wheels - look like Fulcrum Racing Zeros.

    I've got the same frame set and find it great for accelerations and turns into corners lovely, good choice.
    They do good wheels too, I'm using the 50mm clinchers

    That is one of the nicest bikes I've seen on here - love it!

    I've been thinking about some Soul wheels myself, did you have to pay import tax?

    I have read elsewhere that Soul have now got a UK rep/agent/seller, if you google soul wheels uk should bring up some results. The problem is the prices are quite a bit higher than buying direct balanced out by the fact that they come with extended warranty and you get to deal with someone in the UK. For what it's worth I dont think the majority of people who purchase small orders from the far east get hit with tax duty etc. The bike above is lovely I have the same frameset just bought it direct from China unpainted.
