Tange Prestige frames
Ride quality
Since 2007, Soma have used Japanese Tange Prestige tubing to build their range of bicycle frames.
“I used to love opening a fresh box of Tange Prestige tubes. Thick cardboard, nicely folded plastic liner, and clean shiny tubes with the little “Tange Prestige” logo lasered into every one. The smell of that light oil they coat them in before shipping is probably going to stick with me forever.”
Tange Prestige was the first non-Italian steel to be used by Pinarello.
