Not to get into semantics but 90% of cross bikes today have a sloping top tube, and 90% of cross bikes today have some kind of unicrown fork (most of those being crabon, admittedly). Finally, the DirtBomb, being custom, does have a disc brake option, but every custom bike has a disc brake option, doesn't it? The example that is pictured in the SoulCraft site has cantilevers.
