And the winner is...

So, as I write this post, the SoulVille stepthrough frame design winner is; Option B

The votes, via Pollhost are- 83 to 56 in favor of the Mixte. With the votes placed via the comments section added to this, the Mixte lead grows even greater.

So, being that I promised that the votes/ comments would decide the future of this frame design, the new stepthrough version of the SoulVille will be the Mixte!

Congratulations to you, the readers and voters here- you truly and sincerely decided this outcome. Barring any mechanical issues that prevent the use of the Mixte frame (first sample will determine this), the SoulVille range will soon include a Mixte frame... and it's all because of you!

I dunno 'bout you, but I think that's damned cool!

Vote!

Voting ends tomorrow. Vote now and tell your friends to vote too!

Remember- voting will determine the future of this model. True democracy at its best. No recounts. No court time... just a beautiful new frame design!

SoulVille Step-through frame designs;

Ok folks, I will have a formal poll posted on the blog soon, but here you go;

SoulVille step-through Option A- borrowed from the Dutch bikes. Simple and elegant with a single swooped top tube, joined to the down tube with "struts".

SoulVille step-through Option B- this is actually a modified mixte frame, complete with small diamter double top tubes that bypass the seat tube and are welded to the drop out. Very much like the old Euro bikes of years past.

Go ahead and vote for your favorite. As far as I am concerned, I like them both and do not feel like there is a bad version either way. Being that I like Democracy, I am leaving it to a vote, so start voting and tell all your friends to vote as well.

NOTE; This poll is just for the frame design itself- nothing else. This isn't for color, or graphics, or part spec... just frame design. You can comment here, but please place your vote in the poll that will be on the left side of the page.

As always, thank you for your valuable feedback!
