Salsa Introduces The El Mariachi: Production Version

May 6th, 2006 by Guitar Ted

Salsa has released the information that the El Mariachi steel hardtail 29″er frames will be available in production form by late June/ July. The frame differs from the Limited Edition version in paint and the fact that the rear drop out on the production version will have a derailluer hangar for a geared option that the customer can use. The other details are as follows: Disc only frame and fork with hose guides on the seat stay and on the left fork leg. True Temper OX chrome moly tubing. Bushnell EBB for the single speed option. Available in “Superior Blue” or “Tomatilla Green”. All this in one frame and fork for about $880.00. Check http://www.salsacycles.com for more info.

What is tramadol and what does it have to do with biking? btw Ted the link in the post doesn’t work. Do you guys know, will these be avaiable through QBP? I thought that QBP owned Salsa but haven’t seen anything about them. Maybe because our shop is not an ‘authorized’ Salsa dealer.

Yup! Linky doesn’t work, although the address is correct. Hmm….dang computers! Anyway, the ad on the right sidebar will take you there.

These are indeed available through QBP. Well, when they come out they will be available…..you know what I mean!

If your shop has a QBP catalog, they can get anything Salsa has in stock, assuming that they are in good stead with QBP. QBP likes to stay in the “backround” and let the house brands “front” themselves. They are in essence their own companies within a company.

You’re missing the http:// part of the URL that is why it’s not woking.

I wish they didn’t do that funky top tube/seatube tube with the high chainstays. Makes sense for the Dos Niner, but it’s pretty fugly.

Should be another great addition to their line-up.
The colors are good too.

First of all, I fixed the link so it works. Please forgive me for any inconveniences.

Juansevo: I agree that the top tube brace is asthetically displeasing to the eye, but it is functional. I guess I’d rather have the frame retain it’s integrity than to have the seat tube/ top tube junction fail. The design gives you better standover, which is important on 29″ers. We are not used to seeing this sort of arrangement, having been ingrained with images of 26″ inch hardtail designs for 25 years or so. If the 29″er had come first, we’d probably be bemoaning the looks of those “new” 26″ers on Twenty six inches.com !
