I had myself talked into the Surly, but the more I think about it, the more the Soma seems like the way to go. Problem is I haven't ridden either one yet!! I'm still working on it! Thanks Jo!

I could ride it but I feel more comfortable with a bigger frame, especially for touring. So I went for the 58 and loved it. I'd say the 58 will fit you better but I'd recommend you try both sizes if possible. Ride safe. hey Rob, the 56 (compact geometry) was too small for me.

I know I'm a little late reading this but....I'm starting to look for a touring bike and doing research, and looking and reading. I was originally thinking of the LHT, it's so popular and inexpensive, but then I saw the Saga. I like the looks much better! I was curious about your sizing. I'm 6' and normally ride a 56, regular geometry. But your 58 Saga fits you good and you're 5'11"? That seems backwards, I would think the smaller 56 would be better, but it's too small?

I had the same issue with my LHT size 56. my Saga is a 58 (compact) and it's the perfect size for me. I also had some seatpost slipping problems on the Saga but a piece of a beer can around the seatpost solved it. Cheers. Jo(aquin) hola, thanks for your comments.

I'm curious about this bike. Have you had a chance to do a ride comparison with the Long Haul Trucker? I currently ride an LHT but alas the frame size is too small. I'm considering the LHT in the proper size but am open to the Saga. I love the paint, panels and now the new headbadge planned for the 2010 models. Also wondering if the seatpost binder was ever an issue. On the LHT the stock clamp was kind of a problem (always slipping). The fix was easy, though, changed out the clamp but on Soma's seems like you'd just be out of luck if you had the slippage problem. Anyways, your opinions would be great.
