Wow I just got my Saga frame yesterday and I’m building it up right now. It’s also a 58. Looking forward to loading it up for a tour, although I won’t be going as far as you guys! Best of luck.
I ordered my Saga frame a couple of weeks ago and am anxious for it to arrive. It will be a 56. I keep looking at your build to try and curb my impatience but it just fuels it further. Love your ride. Best of luck on your adventure!
Hi, I am thinking to order a Soma Saga frame to built up my touring bike. I am 5 feet 11 inches tall and my pbh is 86.5cm. Could you give me and advice on frame sizing? I am in doubt in between 56 or 58. Thanks
hey,I’m 5 9″ with an inseam of 86 and the 58 fits me perfectly. I reckon the 58 will fit you better. cheers
