Soma Double Cross Disc Frame Matte Black

Cyclo-cross bikes like the early Double Cross frame were the "ride-it-all" bikes of their time allowing cyclists to use them as road bikes, light touring, off-roading, as well as mixing it up in CX races. Recently though, the gravel bike has become the new king of "ride-it-all". With just a few changes in BB height and head tube angle, we made the Double Cross more stable for gravel and touring, more fun on trails, and still a versatile and fast commuter. For 2024, available sizes are limited to 46, 50, 54, 56, 58, 62, 66cm Tange Prestige heat-treated CrMo steel front triangle; butted CrMo rear end. Top tube is ovalized for greater lateral rigidity w/o sacrificing vertical compliance. Sizes 62cm and up have stiffer downtubes to suit larger/stronger riders. Disc mount is located on the chainstay which allows you to put almost any rear rack or fender on it without fear of interference. The rear disc mount is now "flat mount" and fits 140mm rotors (160mm with adapter) Rear rack and fender eyelets ED coating inside tubes and under paint to prevent rust Optional color matched fork: Straight blade unicrown CrMo fork with three bosses to allow for utility cage or pannier rack.
