Well, How about it. I do believe we have made it to the most deceptive time of year - the January Thaw. Temperatures will cruise into the mid 40s, the snow will disappear, and it will rain; dashing the hopes of urban xc skiers across mid-latitude North American areas. So, take advantage of it and get out on your bike! But remember, with every January thaw there is also a freeze. All that melting by day will surely glaze the roadways to a nice slippery sheet of ice.
A few weeks ago I headed down to the Carse Trails for a little solo Mountain Biking. If you haven't seen yet, Derek is heading out on a bicycle powered journey through Africa and recently got a GoPro to carry and document the trip. We thought it might be fun to break it out and see what it was all about. Being that I was riding alone I was skeptical about pushing it too hard, and running back and forth setting up shots really took it out of me.
The Salsa Beargrease is in and so is the jury....this thing rips! Its light, nimble, stiff, and handles great. The lightweight frame is constructed from the same Xtrolite double-butted, heat-treated, aluminum.
Had a nice ride on the Neck Romancer yesterday. From the beach to single track; through overgrown fields and plenty of mud. When im on this thing I feel like where the trail ends my ride starts and that's a fun feeling.
We just received a couple of these beauties yesterday and they wont last long! For 2013 Salsa made just 300 of these. We have a 17" (medium) and a 15" (small) in stock and ready to tackle the trails.
We got a large (20") Salsa Fargo 2 in this week. Check out the specs and geometry here: Salsa fargo 2.
We have some new stuff here at the shop. Most exciting to me are these super sweet frame bags made exclusively for Surly and Salsa by Revelate Designs in Anchorage, Alaska.
