Salsa's recommended size chart...?

[zoom-zoom]

Oh this is apparently the El Mariachi 3 for 2013...I think I need this bike. We're thinking the 20% Cdale discount that we get as JDRF riders only applies towards road bikes (which makes sense, really), so that evens out the playing field between the 29er bikes I am considering (Salsa El Mar and Cdale Tango SL).


I do like that the El Mariachi has a proven record and is such a popular model. And I've never had a steel bike, before, so I'd be interested to try that vs. the alum. Cdale. With the El Mariachi I'd have a steel mtn. bike, alum CX bike, and carbon road bike--all I'd need is a titanium Mukluk, heh!

I hope I'll be able to test both the Cannondale and the El Mariachi. I will have to drop some not-so-subtle hints to our LBS buddy to get 1 of each for me to try.

I would have to name the Salsa "Gossamer," right...?
