Dad and I just built up his new bike, a Soma Double Cross. Parts List: Frame: Soma Double Cross Frame Ivory size 56cm Fork: Bontrager Satellite Carbon Wheels: Velo Orange (VO) PBP Shimano 105 Hubs Tires: Grand Bois Cypress 700x30 Casette: Shimano Ultegra 12-28 10speed Crankset: Shimano 105 Triple Bottom Bracket: Shimano Ultegra Rear Derailleur: Shimano Ultegra GS 10speed Front Derailleur: Shomano Ultegra Shifters: Shimano Dura-Ace Bar Ends 10speed SL-BS79 Brakes: Levers Tektro FL 730, Front Brake Tektro Caliper 538, Rear Brake Shimano Cantilever BR-R550 (which DO in fact work with linear pull levers!) Cables: VO Braided Headset: Grand Cru from Veloorange.com Stem: VO 100mm 17deg. rise Bars: Nitto Albatros Grips: Rivendell Cork that we twined and shellaced with Bullseye Amber Shellac Seatpost: VO Grand Cru setback seatpost Saddle: Brooks B17 Special Honey Bottle Cages: VO Modernista Fenders: VO 45mm hammered polished fenders We started with the bare frame, and it went together fairly seamlessly. The trickiest part was installing the fenders, but even that wasn’t too bad. Rides like a dream. Smooth, relaxed, but handles very well and is actually quite fast. The drivetrain all works flawlessly, and the bar ends are actually quite nice after using STI’s for so long. Absolutely love the Nitto Albatross bars. And these tires are incredible, the smoothest fastest rolling tires I’ve used to date! My dad chose every single part, so it is truly HIS bike!
