This is my favourite build going on this site right now. I just have a thing for early 90s Salsas. Always felt they embody the essence of what a mountain bike is to me: all around, unpretentious, tough, fun, progressive w/ deep understanding of geometry beneath the wild paint.
And Salsa stems are just beautifull. I want a 135mm one, badly.

I have cinsidered a Salsa handlebar, but im not too fussed. i wont let it hold up the build but if ones turns up then great. Otherwise my plan is a period correct 1991 Syncros handlebar and perhaps matching seatpost. As an aside, ive never been a fan of headset cable stops personally, i always think a cable guide/roller on the stem is a much neater solution, so happy to have a Pro-moto coming.
