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.
