That's so nice! Do you have a better photo from the side?

Thanks for all the help! I'll try a different headset and see how that goes.

That's not too bad, better than another boring 'stealth' bike

I bought a brand new Soma Smoothie frameset and brought it to the local framebuilder/bikeshop to get the headtube reamed and faced. I just picked it up and they reamed so much that I can press in the Chris King headset by hand and still twist it around. Does this mean they fucked up the frame? What can I do now? Thanks for all the input!

Well this surprised me a lot. Why doesn't Soma finish their frames properly before selling them? If been to a few local bikeshops and they all thought it was a odd question if they could ream and face my headtube. One mechanic even advised me to put an old headset cup in the frame and hit it with a hammer to make it round again.... Wtf. Is it normal for new frames to need this kind of prepping?
If you look at post #92 of this thread you can see how I did it on my canti forks
