91 Salsa A La Carte (Nukeproof / XT / M231 etc etc)

[Factorycol]

My 1991 Salsa A La Carte is now up for sale,

It's one many of you will know from this forum, so you'll know the history.

I just can't justify having the bike collection I've got when it's having to be stored away out of sight. Hopefully it'll go to a good home.

On ebay now, because I really don't know what it's worth in the current market.

I think I was the first person to build them into wheels... no spoke marks or marking on the freehub. They are sooo nice

Fair play to you for allowing an auction to run its course rather than sticking a daft ‘Covid based’ price tag on it.

I’m sure it will do well, but the fact that you’re willing to do this speaks volumes for your confidence in the bike and your integrity as a seller

I'm a firm believer in things only really being worth what someone is prepared to pay for them.

I know what I paid to build this bike, and I hope I get that back, but we'll see.

Back in 2021 I paid US $2,175.00 for a Klein Rascal, that I wanted and imported as part of a bundle of stuff.

..... i auctioned it off the other week and it went for

Somehow I think that salsa will do well.

Even with covid tax that’s a crazy price to pay, but if it’s something you simply must have…

it was a long story, but importing a bike this way, allowed me to send one back to the US, tax and duty free, so essentially this bike didn't owe me the full amount paid, by quite a long way. But still the point that things are only worth what they sell for stands. So we'll see what this Salsa is worth now.

Fantastic bike. Word of caution on using GSP on eBay (now international shipping). They have quite strict max size guidelines (eg 120cm length). I also know of at least two occurrences where bikes have been ‘lost’ due to being in too big boxes. ie seller keeps money, buyer gets refund but bike is never seen again.
