Yeah stem is not working for me to- need to have a think on that score. Ive Got some lx brakes and front der. Just need a rear and lx lever/shifters and some black bars and I'll be good to go- am really tempted by the pink cable outers :twisted:

defo, really trying to save the post, and this is meant to be a long termer anyway :roll:

trying to get the Salsa finished, lots of wee teething troubles. Incomplete disc brakes, shimano centrelocks and hope callipers don't like each other :evil: , as per usual missing the right size BB and the forks need rebuilt properly. Oh and missing a middle ring. :roll: and saddle. Must admit though every time I pick it up its remarkably light, again without much effort.

salsa is indeed a special bike- love it, will be great to see it finished.
