My Salsa, semi retired.
- Thread starter KiwiJohn
- Start date
According to FirstFlight: "1997: The Salsa name is sold to a parts distributor, Quality Bikes Parts (QBP). Ross stays on as a designed and consultant."
A bit vague to me
A friend of me has a yellow A la Carte which came with Bonty Comp fork when he acquired it about half a year ago. Think it is '92. He now installed AccuTrax forks. When I took notice he did that I thought it would look shit. When I saw it I were positively surprised. When looking more closely the Salsa is burlier looking than at a quick glimpse. Nevertheless with Comp it is better.

Paint is actually dark green but faded to blackish pretty quick. Made in America, I think it was in a shop or 2 for a while before I got it. Don't know if the serial number gives date of manufacture. I thought about getting it resprayed, but now I prefer the well used look. I've glued the lower headset race in, still creaks but. Main reason it's semi retired.
It'd be good to see a few more Salsa's on here, only other one I know of is a "new" Ala Carte.
