It would be different, (Imagine that!) and would sell well, I think. And yes, bring the Jaun Solo with it's carbon fiber seat stays into the big wheeled world! Salsa said the frame premiered at Sea Otter already. (1pm. Pacific time) Any pictures yet? The website at Salsa Cycles will have something up in the morning (April 5th) to look at.

I wish for the non-limited frame they had left out the EBB and just gone geared-specific. The market needs a steel geared frame, and a nice one. If they up their 26" SS offering to 29", the circel would be complete. On a SS-specific frame, where would you put the cables?

Article says the Limited will be SS only, but the production will be shipped with geared dropout options. I wonder if the Limited can be retro-fitted with the replaceable dropout of the production (assuming it's a just like a bolt-on drlr hanger. I'd like a limited frame, but want gear options.
