Good morning all,

I'm trying to figure out what size frame I should get my wife. I've been looking at a Soma Fab Buena Vista but none of my local dealers have one built up, so I don't know how to size her. I did some quick measurements on her but I don't know how to connect the dots.

Her measurements:

Inseam: 33
Trunk: 22
Forearm: 14
Arm: 26
Thigh: 21.5
Lower Leg: 20
Sternal Notch: 54.75
Total Body Height: 65.5

Here is the Geo chart from Soma fab:

--Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Sean

Even if your dealer doesn't have one built up they should be able to tell you what size frame she needs based on her measurements. Looking at the sizes available you can throw out the top two right away. Also the 42cm. That leaves what, the 50 and 54? Lt. Columbo I am not, but I can't see going wrong with the 50cm if drop bar and the 54 if flat-bar with lots of sweep back like a North Road bend. PM me so I can send you my Pay-pal details. I should get something out of this.

Thanks for your input Leisesturm, I'm going to go with a 54 with the flat bar/large sweep bars. Check is in the mail.
@fietsbob I went into both Soma dealers near me and neither have had a Soma bike in their shop in a years. Also, the heavily bearded track stand champion sales associate had never heard of the bike..

I reached out to Soma fab and they had the same suggestion as Leisesturm. Thanks again fellas.
