Soma Double Cross Frame
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 in CX events.
With its advent and current stage of development, 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.
Note the black colorway comes with flat mount disc brake mounts and the matte purple frame comes with IS.
