** Salsa Ala Carte Titanium **

Re:

aye Barry, yours is a work of art, love that half(ish) blue and raw ti paint job

wheels are my Crossmax SLR (that were on the Tranny), they are centre lock and take an 11 speed cassette, and are properly light. the SID Race Carbon forks (also from the Tranny) are going on the front end

i just can't decide what to do from the seat post/stem side....

have a black CK headset, but wonder is a silver might work well/better, a silver Thomson post and stem, with the final wee treat being Thomson Ti flat bars

have done the whole black seat post/stem thing to death, time for a change maybe......?

Re: ** Salsa Ala Carte Ti **

Cheers.

There was a nice Moots Ti stem in the for sale section recently (listed as a Merlin for splits) and Ti bars too I think. Salsa do a nice Ti seatpost as well.

What's happening with Kermit then? Has he gone to a new lily-pad?

Re:

Re:

forks on and front wheel slotted in, so this is where i'm at now

black or silver seat post and stem......??

Thomson do a black seat collar that would match well with the CK headset

gonna run this seat

Re: ** Salsa Ala Carte Ti **

Yeah, Salsa Fliplocks match perfectly with CK headsets.

Looking at the pic you have I think black seatpost and stem will match best. Strange for me as I prefer silver normally, but black in this case would leave the frame to speak for itself if you know what I mean.
