Soma Double Cross Disc

[chunkmastafunk2]

Figured I should post my finished ride on here. Lots of fun painting and making this ride all "mine." PPG paint custom color. Little but if pin striping and I think I got my simple, clean looking rig. Anyone else run a Soma?

Very nice! I just picked up a 2012 Soma DC that needs a drivetrain. I'm trying to find the parts on a limited budget, but hope to have something enjoyable and attractive to ride.

Looks great! What are the tires and did you set them up tubeless?

[chunkmastafunk2]

Cyclocross race. Tubeless. Crest rims, Hope hubs. Little heavy, but reliable.

This is the 2012. For 13' they put out a disc only Double Cross. been looking to get a Juice to replace my Gary Fisher Sawyer.

Owned a couple of um. Just wish theyd increase the length of the HT and give the TT some slope so you dont have to use a **** ton of spacers to reduce the seat-bar drop.

[chunkmastafunk2]

Agreed. Don't mind the spacers too much, but a little geo fix would be nice.

Could always buy a different stem...

Yeah, i ran 110 x zero stems on all of um to reduce the number of spacers. But man, a taller HT and sloping TT could be a huge improvement YMMV.

Shameless plug: I have a Doublecross for sale in the classifieds if anyone is interested, check my sig or do a quick search.

Regarding headtube length, my Soma has a longer headtube (+15mm) and a shorter seat tube (-~40mm) than my one size bigger Crosscheck. So, the Soma's top tube slopes slightly (vs. the CC's dead level tube), and I use less spacers. That's a good thing for me, since I run my bars about as high as I can.
