Looking for a Big frame (im 6' 8")
 
Anybody have any recommendations on a big enough frame for touring? Right now i right a single speed 64cm bike and i'm looking to upgrade for longer distances. The best i've been able to find is the soma saga that goes up to 66cm and gunnar grand tour goes up to 68cm.

Both the Fuji Touring and the LHT come in an XXL 64cm. I actually don't see a 64cm Saga their website only lists up to 62cm.


As you may well be aware, the C to C measurement is not the most important measurement. This is a very good list of big touring bikes available with stack and reach:

The choices larger than 64 seem to be few.

The Soma Double Cross Disc comes in a 66cm, and the Soma Saga Disc/Canti (mounts for both) comes in a 66cm and that's an AWESOME touring bike.

Have a look at the dirty sixers (36" wheel size). Maybe you are not tall enough for these. :lol:

Probably also want to consider a custom frame.
