Hmm, that's interesting. I compared the geometry of the two bikes, and the Double Cross seemed a bit more relaxed; it has a longer wheel-base and head-tube - not a huge difference, but that would seems to make it a bit more stable, with a more upright riding position.
Virtually everything else I've read indicates the Double Cross frame is a bit better. Supposedly, the tubing and finish is a bit nicer. I'd be curious to hear other comparisons between the two...
