2015 Medium Salsa Bucksaw 1 (X01)

2015 Salsa Bucksaw 1 Medium - fits 5' 8" to 6' tall. For reference, I'm 5' 10".

This bike was purchased on 10/4/2015 from Golden Bike Shop for $4,246.25. It was a demo bike prior to my purchase. Since then it has been ridden sparingly as I mostly ride gravel/road and trials. The sale price is based on the bicycle blue book value and is the lowest priced Bucksaw with this build I could find, so hopefully a good deal for you!

I live very close to a trailhead and you're welcome to demo it on the trail.

Who this bike might be for:

- You want a year round trail bike that you can ride in winter
- You want a comfortable, confidence inspiring bike with great grip -- maybe you're newer to mountain biking or prefer grip and confidence over outright downhill speed
- You want a comfortable bike packing bike
- You want a unique fat bike with great reviews

Things to note:

- If you're on the shorter end of the height range for this bike, you might (1) want a shorter stem -- I have a couple and am happy to install it for you, and (2) want a shorter dropper post (125mm), which you'd have to purchase.

- The dropper post seems to have a very slow leak. I plan on troubleshooting this, but should be fixable as 9.8 posts are serviceable. Right now this means that you have to pump it up every week or two, but it still works fine. These are low pressure posts, so it only needs 20-25 psi.

- The front tire (Surly Nate) will need to be replaced soon

- The cap that covers the air valve for the fork is missing (I dropped it somewhere and lost it). It can be easily replaced, but it's not needed. It just keeps dust and dirt off the schrader valve.
