Product information "Soma Grand Randonneur"

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 low trail aspects less pronounced than in version 1 and 2.
  • We have tweaked the tubing mix to add stiffness at the bottom bracket, while keeping this frame our lightest model. Most sizes have a standard 25.4mm OD top tube, but sizes 58cm and up have more oversized tubes to better match up with larger riders.
  • We have modernized parts of it: Adding IS disc mounts and thru-axle hub compatibility. And of course everyone wants slightly more tire clearance.
  • With its skinny steel tubes and 1" threaded lugged crown fork it still has the look of a vintage road bike.
