The more I read, the more I think their sizing chart recommendations are right and a S would be too big for me, too (I'm just under 5'4").

Speaking of Salsa...their 2013 offerings...oh em gee!!! :eek:
I need a Beargrease and a Colossal Ti and an El Mariachi...
I know...so dangerous!!! It's killing me that there will be an ORANGE MUKLUK!!! And I don't even want a SS, but there will be a ltd ed. El Mariachi, also in orange...and that Beargrease is HOT!!! A friend of ours converts her Ti Mukluk to a hardtail mtn. bike for use during the warmer months....I'd love to do that, but it would still be a really pricey proposition. My guess is that the Beargrease will be $$.
I NEED a Beargrease.
Bad.
I wonder if we got enough of us together that wanted Salsa's, if we could get a group discount?
Hey Salsa . . . want to strike a deal? Think about it.
Put me down for a
1) Beargrease
2) TI Colossal (or maybe a Warbird . . . can't decide!)
I'm really dying to see what they do with the El Mariachi for this year...I wish that orange would be an option for the 3, but I have my doubts, since they are already doing orange on the SS El Mar. I like the green, so that would be OK. Though I'll probably end up with the Cannondale Tango, which isn't nearly as cool, but will likely end up costing us hundreds less for a comparable bike.
My real dream HT is a Lynskey but my sponsor doesn't sell them I was looking at Salsa. It is bummer they haven't embraced the smaller 29ers. I really want to build up a race HT in the future, steel is okay but I really lust for Ti. If I wanted steel I might go Niner instead. But this all just dreaming until next summer, this winter I will be racing my Epic in marathons.
That Warbird makes me all tingly. I wonder if it will have rack and fender mounts?
