Soma Double Cross Disc Frame, Matte Purple

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.
