Behold the Salsa a la Carte jellybean rasta...

[jez-4-bikes-max]

Just been on a pootle on this after I sweated over to get it built this weekend. Real nice ride - It shifts great and even the brakes work (for a change). The back end is nice and stiff and even though the component choice is slightly 'limp wristed' it works well.

Xc pro thumbshifter (faint ratcheting indexing) and Pauls front mech works like a dream - better than Shimano I will add!

I need to get the Shimano Bb out so thats a trip to the bike shop as its throughly locked in. Needs a wider BB for the chainset thats on there.

Anyway - pics.

The Tioga Trampoline works well. Cant have a salsa rasta without a diskdrive on it - its the law....

Did you fight the law but the law won!







Al,dismayed in cornwall.

If i had known that ,this ugly matter may never have happend.

Still look poor though!!! Now if only i could make the sound of a rapberry!








Mucho respect,Al.

it nice.

I though the bit where the rear brake hanger gies was where you put a qr/bolt through to tighten on the tube though... ie no need for a seatclamp?

Wow you got that built quick. Twas in bits Friday when I saw it. Looks awesome by the way though not too sure about that front mech! Think you should sell it to me :roll:
