I’m considering SOMA’s Saga for a commuter. My route is 25 miles round-trip, has one “granny ring” climb (with some rollers), and the road conditions vary from “poor” to “good” (purely subjective, I know). I want something that can handle 32-35c tires, fenders, and a rear rack. I need a fairly upright riding position (top of drop bars slightly higher than saddle), and the bike shouldn’t require tons of attention to hold a line, etc.

This would also double as my “fun” on-road bike which might see the occasional dirt road/trail (my full-sus Trek would handle the rocky/technical stuff). FWIW, I’m 5’11”, and just over 200 pounds. I’d be setting up with a triple (26/36/46, 11-30 or 32) and drop bars.

Comments/suggestions are appreciated.
