Sure, everyone at every bike company rides, but that's only half the battle. You have to be obsessed with how the bikes are made as well. The crew at Salsa is as particular about design and quality-control as they are riding, and that combination is good news for you, the potential lucky owner of an outstanding Salsa bike. The designers and engineers at Salsa are constantly learning out there on the road and the trail, figuring out how to make bikes that live up to their own expectations. From the brilliantly versatile construction of the reliable Casseroll, to the bump-eating flattened stays and bigger wheels of the Mamasita, Salsa bikes simply work. Take the Mariachi complete here. Did marketing testing suggest one ring up front and nine in the back? Nope. That's just a combo the crew at Salsa fell in love with themselves, and figured maybe you'd like as well. Did a steel frame test well in focus groups? Nah! Steel tested well as a frame material for over a century under all kinds of conditions, and in some of the most epic situations ever encountered by bicycles. You might not have to commute to work when it's thirty-below, or ride your bike across the country, but it's nice to know the people who made it have. |
