For a Salsa that is UCI legal I'd look at the Chile Con Crosso, an excellent cross machine and by many accounts is actually a better ride than the La Cruz for pure crossin' ! :) Suzanne: Well, it is not going to fly under UCI radar, but the La Cruz can compete in any unsanctioned cross events around the country and there are plenty of those in most areas.

I wanted a high quality steel frame that I could afford. It looks way sweet except I'm worried about the disc only set-up because of the UCI rules and all... any comments?

I'll certainly have it on my radar for Interbike to see if it's there. rockhound: Actually “Anonymous” was me posting from work! :) BTI is the distributor for Trixter in the U.S. Perhaps you or your LBS can reach them that way to see when this might hit the States.

It fits standard BB shells, but allows you to single speed a bike without using an eccentric hub, or tensioner device. Pretty sano and super cool! jaymay: Did you see that mini eccentric bottom bracket by Tr!xter from Eurobike?

Just one word so far...yummy. After yearning and drooling like the rest of the SS crowd, I just had to realize that if it wasn't made, make it yourself. You won't be disappointed. Jonnyb-

It's been a fun year. Just a couple of comments. “I don’t see the need for the new El Mariachi…What was wrong with the toptube and seat tube brace design?â€? Well, you are right. There was nothing wrong with the top tube and seat tube brace. However, it made sizing and fit difficult for our dealers and distributors. The new bike looks clean and rides sweet. Butcher Thanks for the comments folks. It’s been a fun year. Just a couple of comments.
