I’m just waiting on an injury to heal and then I’ll take it for a proper blast and I’ll do a ride report. Until then I can say from my brief outings on it that it feels very stable and familiar. It’s perfectly sized for me and even though I’ve not ridden it for long, it’s feels like an old friend.That´s the story i hear from people i highly respect: Salsas are the handling benchmark for all around rinding when it comes to late 80s/90s mtbs. On top of that, wonderfull style/attitude. It´s the bike to ride.
Not quite as twitchy/racy as a Yo (my personal benchmark for high end steel MTB’s of that era) but maybe a better all round reliable ride.
But until I thrash it I’ll not know the details.
