Spec's alright. Double-butted 4130, Reba SL, Salsa stem/bars, Ritchey Pro seatpost, WTB Rocket V saddle, Laserdiscs/Kenda Nevegal Sticky 2.2s, Sram X.9 (Deore front der though), Truvativ FireX crankset.

Don't like the SRAM shifters - maybe I'm just used to Shimano... Rear der looks a bit cheap/nasty too. May have to go with the big S. Also no QR for the seatpost clamp :?

nice spec ZZ but I agree with you the blue colour is lush, you and kaiser can be the modern orange bike brigade.

Look's nice ZZ , think i'd have gone for the blue though.

got some "grab on's" coming from florida soon, Dr S has sowed the seeds of doubt in my head and I'm all salsa confused :?

 

[big.eck]

well i think the sweep on the bars looks right with the forks.....

 

[kaiser]

oooo looking sweetest taboo, thats slacker than yer sister Stick some more bits on before deciding on the bars, levers and such like, though IIRC I had the same dilema with the khs. Wanted something old schoolie with rise but it looked the merde and went long and low.

Never mind the bars, that saddle looks gash. You really we'd to get rid of that asap.
