(first pic I have of the Shand, which replaced the Peg' )

No longer will I have a handlebar harness, small framebag, seatbag, as soon as friends bring it over a Salsa anything cage and the rest stuffed in a Wingnut Adventure pack.

What forks are you running on the Salsa?

Those are Salsa CroMoto, 5 bolts to swap them to the Manitou suspension ones.

The only reason I ask is that I thought it was only the Fargo MK2 and Enabler forks that have the 3 bolt braze-ons for Anything cages?

Yes you are right the Cromoto doesn't have teh cage mounts, but looking at the online stuff and an email from Salsa they see no issue mounting it to the frame instead on a two hole bottle cage mount. It's only going to hold a small drybag with bivvy stuff in it. If it doesn't work, I'll save it for the next bike

Slow day at home is it Matt?

Quit whining and stick some bike pics up. Need inspiration for next bike.
