And today I did......

A bit disappointing that the only 26ers Salsa do now are fatbikes.

Maybe I should buy this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Salsa-Ala-Car ... 43ac70ed19

Or maybe not, as I'm not loaded or completely batshit mental.

that is a tad overpriced Taz

I quite liked the name horsethief as there is a song I liked called "you stole my wife you horsethief" I know it is unrelated to Salsa though other than a loose "Western/Mexican/cowboy" reference. Salsa as a brand are really just that now, the heritage with them (and most other old brands) has gone, they make good bikes as do loads of companies now, hanging up over a name when the original name was sold on anyway seems daft. I think Ross wouldn't care so much, the name made him some money and let him do his own thing, and although I'm not sure he owns it, soulcraft is a much cooler name.

I just used that size calculator and even the small horse thief has too big a standover for me.

What frame ya got...?

Salsa Horsethief (fingers crossed) ordered from Triton cycles who allegedly have a habit of not keeping on top of their stock levels.

Should look something like this.

the quest for the mythical do it all bike continues then- looks good for a modern- what else you selling (vultures circling) :twisted:

I quite like the name anaw, has naebody herd of a Horsethief?

Gazz this will fill the burlier bike shoes, Pugsley for fun and bikepacking, Scandal for most things and a bit of racing and this for big days oot, like doing the Munro's and Torridon for instance, also for the Italy trip and a few other things I've in mind for the future.

That'll pretty much make up my modern 'stable' Everyting else is up for the chop, Fire eye, Azonic, Kona King, Kuwahara, and probably a load more I cannae remember. Retro keepers are the two FATs, Ritchey and Ibis. The Vicious is somewhere inbetween but its staying, need at least one singlespeed!!

Aye right as soon as you sell one of those 3 more will mysteriously fill its shoes

Ah jist luv it! Actually I am starting to feel the pressure, having no really cycled much at all, aw these bikes do get a bit depressing. I have bikes, I have plans just nae time!

 

[clockworkgazz]

that's weans for you- don't worry you can cycle all you want when they all feck off as you'll have no money then given the cost of uni/house's/cars/grandchildren......
