Soma Pescadero Road Frame

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. Disc brakes are an effective technology that we also adopt on other Soma frames. But what about cyclists who want the benefits of wider road tires, but want the clean, classic look of road caliper brakes (i.e. rim brakes) or just prefer how easy they are to adjust and maintain? The Pescadero is with 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.
