As mentioned, omnium cxc, the drop out system is slightly different but I've seen people run it fixed with no issues. Otherwise all city super professional? But the reviews put me off those a bit. Genesis day one, squid so-ez, on One pompino. Otherwise there's proper tracklocross bikes like the mash steel or the surly steamroller which have slightly less tyre clearance but have normal track hub spacing.
The only thing tho be aware of is that many of these bikes have a 135mm spacing so they'll require a specific hub.

I'm running a 130mm miche track hub on my Day One with no issues. just popped a couple of spacers on the axle!

ah ok, yeah that's proabably the easier/cheaper solution

yeah it's a new world to me too realy, before the soma i'd never ventured above 25c on a track bike, but being able to send it hard even on basic singltrack on a fixed gear is definitely turning out way more fun than it should be.

I guess you have to watch out for axle length though? I love the Soma by the way.

What they said ?

From what I remeber it's a bit heavy and slugish. Also multiple people seemed to have issues with the drop out inserts breaking and then not being able to find any replacments in stock.
Pretty minor things tbh but since the soma was pretty much the same price it was enough to sway me

last spin on the Cinelli before it gets dismantled to sell a couple of bits and then eventually sell the frame on as realistically it's too small for me and there's I've got a couple of better fitting bikes on the way.
On the soma? It feels pretty normal... Looking at geo charts the BB drop is only about a centimetre lower than my vigorelli, but I guess the bigger tyres help negate that a bit as measuring from the ground they're pretty much the same height
