New Cutthroat.
2019 Cutthroat anyone? It's like an updated first generation Fargo with a twist ... are we starting to go full circle?
May the bridges you burn light your way
Re: New Cutthroat.
oooo, suspension!
Re: New Cutthroat.
Can't see the triple rack mount bolts on those forks...?
We go out into the hills to lose ourselves, not to get lost. You are only lost if you need to be somewhere else and if you really need to be somewhere else then you're probably in the wrong place to begin with.

Yes - suspension solving problems caused by poor ergonomic design/geometry, just like it did in 1991... are we starting to go full circle?
Re: New Cutthroat.
looks like any generic black carbon frame. on one did a similar thing years ago.
not for this serial bike swapper.

Re: New Cutthroat.
The original looked so nice, who would pay top dollar for such a bland looking bike? There’s not many bikes that look better with a Lauf fork, but in this case it just makes sense.

Top dollar? You'll need a couple of grand more to get the posh one.ZeroDarkBivi wrote:The original looked so nice, who would pay top dollar for such a bland looking bike? There’s not many bikes that look better with a Lauf fork, but in this case it just makes sense.
Yeah, I'd probably go for a bright coloured and rigid one. Doesn't mean I wouldn't push you out of the way to get a go on this one however!
Re: New Cutthroat.
IMHO they appear to have picked the least objectionable view for their advertising.
If you look on the website the side profile looks dreadful shocks and a short head tube just doesn't' look right to me.
I am probably being too picky because Salsa have also changed the spec of my next last ever bike and gone boost through the range so my hanging back expecting end of year sell off bargains is not going to work because they already limited the supply.
The new Fargo in olive drab does look good though.

New Fargo takes a 2.6 tyre too apparently?
