The Pescadero is an evolutionary hop and sidestep to the traditional road sport/endurance road frame. Most of the new "all-road" bikes embracing wider tires are automatically going to disc brakes. And disc brakes are an effective technology that we also adopt on other Soma frames. But what about cyclists who wants the benefits of wider road tires, but want the clean, classic look of a road caliper brakes (i.e. rim brakes) or just prefer how easy they are to adjust and maintain? The Pescadero is for these souls in mind.

Its road sport geometry allows you to pedal hard and long with less physical and mental fatigue. A great choice for gran fondos or all day rides on winding country roads. While you can throw on 700 x 28c tires like every other endurance road bike has these days, the Pescadero allows for plusher, more comfortable rubber up to 700 x 38c.

The Grand Randonneur is a road frame optimized to carry a front load. We have equipped it with rear rack mounts, but it feels best with a front load only. The version 3 of the "Grando" makes quite a few updates.

• The geometry is still low trail in the front, but we have tried to make the handling slightly more stable than version 1 and 2.

• We have tweaked the tubing mix to add stiffness at the bottom bracket, while keeping this frame our lightest model.

• We have modernized parts of it: Adding IS disc mounts and thru-axle hubs compatibility. And of course everyone wants just slightly more tire clearance.

• With its skinny steel tubes and 1" threaded lugged crown fork it still has the vintage road bike look. 

• Tange Prestige CrMo tubes, double-butted

• Threaded 1" lugged crown fork is equipped with low rider pannier bosses, mini rack eyelets and double eyelets at the dropouts. 100mm x 12mm thru-axle hub compatible. IS disc mounts
