Salsa Casseroll complete bikes are in!

These versatile frames are one of the most comfortable bikes I have been on. I can say that truthfully because I bought a frame set last year. I built mine with a Nexus eight speed hub, made possible by the extra long, stainless, horizontal rear dropouts. This summer I did a long tour through the dirt roads of Vermont and it served as my daily commuter through the summer and fall. I have not been riding it this winter, only because I'm not ready to trash my sweet bike yet. Plenty of fender clearance, plush ride and stable handling would make it a great winter bike.

The fit is unlike anything I've had in the past, but I'm a convert. My road bikes have always been fairly standard race fit, long and low with a high bottom bracket and a horizontal top tube. I still like that fit for racing but I always assumed a little suffering and back pain was part of the deal if your riding fifty to a hundred miles. Not so. While I still experience general fatigue, there is no one part of my body that gets sore on this rig. I could ride this thing until I drop from lack of sleep or bonk, whichever comes first. (bonk most likely) What the differences boil down to are the long head tube, sloping top tube and low bottom bracket. It maintains an even saddle and bar height while leaving plenty of standover clearance. There is no need for ugly tall stem, extra long steerer with a bunch of spacers, or a hokey steerer extender. The low bottom bracket makes for a super stable ride on rough roads.

Casseroll Single complete bikes come with their own color scheme and stem painted to match. The wheels are sweet Surly sealed hubs built with Salsa Delgado Cross rims. They cut no corners on this machine. Check out the chain guard!

Casseroll Tripple completes come with a Shimano 105 STI shift and drive train set up. The hubs are Tiagra with the same Delgado Cross Rims. The nice extra detail on this bike is the included SKS fender set.
