We talked a about the right bike for a while, and my mind keeps coming back to the Salsa Horsethief, a nimble pedaling bike with plenty of travel and 29" wheels. The Horsethief made a lot of sense for Dave and where/how he rides. Taking this into consideration the next step is to talk about material and component choices. Its become more frequent, but still somewhat of a rarity that a bike is perfect straight out of the box. I think if there was one thing I would change on the bike would have maybe been a carbon handlebar. I completely understand Salsa's mantra of Adventure by Bike, one day you can load it up with bags, do a S24O and the next day you can hammer your local trails. Enough chatting, enjoy the pictures.
