There was a Soma bicycle company that made bikes in the early 80s too. I show an address of 200 Park Avenue, New York, with the name Matsui. I don't know whether this was a person, bike shop, distributor or what. I only have a confirmed date of frames from 1982 and I show that they no longer produce frames. At the Soma Fabrications website mentioned today, they say they started about five years ago, so doesn't appear to be connected. Questions: 1) Does anyone know anything about the Soma company from the 1980s? 2) What does Soma mean? Is that Japanese?
