Re: Salsa go SS Gravel.
I'm going to rebuild my ISO shortly and am trying with popping a tensioner on it for SS just to see. Chainring maxes out at 36 but with a suitable sprocket and it's hilly round here that may be ok

I like the grey but it’s not a patch on the red.Mactheknife68 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 11, 2021 8:36 pm @voodoo_simon you’ll be disappointed the boring head painter at Salsa painted the frame only option in the normal Salsa boring black I do like Salsa and have owned about half a dozen but £1200 for an aluminum frame is madness. I bought my Salsa GX frame in 2017 which is steel with a carbon fork for £500 brand new
Worked in retail for years, most people would get attracted to the bright coloured jacket/bike etc but then would always opt for the black one

@voodoo_simon I just looked through their complete Allroad section and the frames are all black. At least Surly, Allcity Cycles and Brother etc have frames in nice colours and even the same as the full bike. Poor variety from Salsa and I’m a fan.

In defence of your fleet Simon at least salsa paired the black with a nice contrasting colour rather than just keeping it monochrome.

I wouldn't have said you were massive, or have you had the lockdown munchies?voodoo_simon wrote: ↑Sat Mar 13, 2021 3:13 pmI was hoping no one was going to point out that I’m a massive hypocritejohnnystorm wrote: ↑Sat Mar 13, 2021 11:17 am...and the Timberjack frame comes in black as well!voodoo_simon wrote: ↑Sat Mar 13, 2021 9:22 amGood lord, you're right.
