it's honestly a last ditch effort to get this to work.

One difference between beater & soma is that beater, being a single speed, has small hoods. On the Soma, I keep wanting to pull my hands back off the hoods, which might be because they're too fat for my hands. I honestly don't know, it's just uncomfortable. I wish i I knew what was going on and how to fix it, but I don't. Is it possible to just have a bike with bad geometry for you? The Double Cross looks great on paper, and I can't think of a model I'd rather have. But somethings not working, and we're running out of things to try.

I did try moving the saddle forward, backward, different tilts and heights. Even switched saddles. Nothing helped in that department either.
