from Blenheim, New ZealandDate Reviewed: April 21, 2001
Strengths: 97 model actually. Rocks in tight singletrack. Supple over the long haul. Encourages foolhardy speeds on forestry roads.Weaknesses: Bottom bracket a little low. Paint job is looking dull (dark green)Bottom Line: This is a frame you keep & upgrade as parts break or wear out. Your friends might not beleive how much you spent on a frame, when you can get a good bike for the price. But you will know its worth every cent on your first ride. Mine was a three hour mission & I was hooked. After being put off the ride of aluminium & the maintenance of full suspension, let alone the price of Ti, then you can't beat a classy steel ride.

Strengths:
industry standard geometry set-up for suspension; nimble in the tight stuff, stable at speeds.Weaknesses:
hard to find - call Salsa or check 'em out at salsacycles.comBottom Line: This frame rocks!! It bunny-hops everything and looks sweet. With the disc out back and up front, braking on short notice is not an issue. With the Hayes mount built into the frame - there is no need for clunky rear adaptors! The feel of a Salsa is just natural. Ride an Ibis or a Voodoo - you'll be back to the Salsa!!
