looks like the white bike is a Soma Van Ness. This is a bike that I am very interested in becuase I would like to do some long distance fixed gear riding. I wonder about the hanelebar choice though. Not many and positions.
Looks like the Soma Rush, no lugs like the Van Ness. I personally think that our Surly would be as good a choice, the Somas don't have anything special for touring, no braze-ons, no extra clearance, not even amazing geometry for touring, it could be done, but the Rivendel Quickbeam, or whatever follows as it's removed or even an older touring bike turned fixed may work better. Just thoughts...
