2013 Salsa Horsethief. Bike packing dream.

Ritchey Kyote 760mm bar (cut down from 800mm) I think it's 25 degree backsweep.
Marin 35mm stem
XT drivetrain -- shifters, brakes, derailleur (10 speed with large cog in rear).
SLX crank 175mm
Seller Italia XC saddle (recovered yellow vinyl).
DMR grips
Easton wheelset 142mm rear, 100 x 15mm front
Maxxis DHR.
Maxxis DHF.
Manitou minute 140mm fork.
Works Components 2 degree angle set. (Approx 66 degree ha).
Nukeproof pedals.

I think that covers most of the parts.

So, for the breakdown:

The good:
This bike is perfect for bike packing. Perfect. It has seen about 350 miles of the Oregon timber trail bikepacking and has about 900 total miles. Fork was rebuilt about 150 miles ago. Rear shock has not been touched. Works just fine but will need service in future.

This is a long chainstay 460mm, long front end with 2 degree angle set, stable steady bike. Its not a jumper and hugs the ground making it great for loaded packing. Much more comfortable than a hardtail in the wilderness.

The bad:. Nothing other than it is a steady plow through everything bike.

The ugly:. The paint has always been a weak spot. It scratches easily and fades and rubs. It is worn looking. It will not win any beauty contests. See pics. Many scratches and rub marks from bike bags.

The components also have mileage on them. They have worked better than any other set I've used (including xtr, 11 speed, etc). And still work great but we'll used.

Overall, if you want to ride and bikepack sometime this bike will save your 5k yeti from ruin. And it is the right tool for the job. But it is used and ridden and shows it.

Open to offers. I have other parts (bars, stems, etc). If you like.

Paypal. Buyer responsible for shipping. Last 2 pics are examples of it loaded up (no bike bags included in sale). Tape on fork is for protection from fork cages....
