2017 Salsa Cutthroat With Extras

This well-maintained Salsa Cutthroat is on consignment at Hitchhiker Bike Shop in Stowe, VT. It is a red/maroon 2017 carbon frame (size 60cm/XL) and a mostly custom build kitted out for bikepacking. I purchased the bike as a complete Rival 22 build at the end of 2018 and rode it for a handful of 3-5 day bikepacking trips in 2019 and 2020. The Cutthroat with the Lauf fork and 2.2" tires is a perfect bikepacking setup for chunky gravel and 4th-class roads -- comfortable for all-day riding and carries weight well. The bike has not been ridden in 2021-22 and has recently been updated with a 12-speed drivetrain using the Ratio Tech conversion. Here is the complete spec list:

--2017 Salsa Cutthroat frame, size 60cm/XL (see original specs here: https://www.salsacycles.com/bikes/2017_cutthroat_rival)
-- Frame bag and top tube bag custom-made for the Cutthroat by Cedaero Bikepacking Bags in Two Harbors, MN
-- Lauf Mountain Boost fork (perfect for bikepacking -- easy on the hands/wrists for washboard roads)
-- Will also include the original Salsa Firestarter carbon fork (see photo) -- NOTE you'll need a non-Boost front wheel if you want to run the rigid fork.
-- Niner RDO Carbon wheelset (23mm internal; 12x142 non-Boost rear/15x110 Boost front) -- super light and in excellent condition (rode once outside)
-- Maxxis Ardent Race EXO 29x2.2 tires, setup tubeless
-- SRAM 12-speed drivetrain: 10-50 NX Eagle cassette, GX Eagle derailleur, X01 chain, Rival shifters w/Ratio Tech 12-speed conversion
-- RaceFace Aeffect cranks w/ 34 tooth Wolf Tooth ring
--Rival brakes (recently bled; pads have ~1/2 life left; will ship with fresh pads) w/ 160mm rear/180mm front rotor
-- Rigid 27.2mm seatpost with WTB Volt saddle
-- 80mm Salsa Guide stem and 46cm Salsa Cowchipper flared bar with fresh bar tape
-- Shimano XTR PF92 bottom bracket (new)
-- Cane Creek 40 headset (swapped in new bearings at the beginning of this season)
-- Elite Cannibal bottle cages for when you're not running the frame bag

Overall, this bike is fully kitted and ready to go to its new home. Thanks for looking! Please reach out with any questions.
