It’s a reliable fork. -Chris King bottom bracket, headset, with ISO hubs (serviced 500km ago at the Chris King factory) on Velocity Aileron rims -Spare Nukeproof Horizon MTB wheelset -Spare hanger This bike has always been stored indoors, and several times was sprayed internally with boshield. It’s taped for tubeless (new muk-off tape), but is currently tubed with p-zero smart tubes. REASON FOR SELLING: Selling this bike is bittersweet, and a lot of money went in to it. I’ve often considered using it for many more years. I’m just guilty of wanting something new. I bought a Vaya, and eventually will get a cutty.

This is pretty much a fully upgraded Beargrease and is in excellent shape. Ridden only once this year and probably 50 rides total since purchased. It rides like a dream! In fact I have doubts about selling it, but it's a luxury item for the amount of use it's gotten. Time to go. Upgrades include: -Shimano XT hydraulic brakes -Cane Creek 125 Headset -Nukeproof Horizon carbon riser handlebar -Thomson stem -Thomson seatpost -Brooks Cambium b17 carved saddle -ESI grips -Shwalbe Jumbo Jim 4.4 inch tires -New sram gx 1x crankset 175mm 30t -Lightbicycle carbon rims 65mm w/ DT swiss big ride hubs. -New sram 11-42 cassette -New Sram 11sp chain -NX shifter and derailleur -Lauf Carbarnara Fork Regular weight This bike should sell for at least $5200 easy

MSRP $3400 CAD before taxes Ideal rider height 5 ft 9" to 5 ft 11" Upgraded with Stan's Flow Wheelset from the OEM Formula wheelset. Everything else on it is stock. This is the original tour divide Salsa Cutthroat drop bar mountain bike. It is now highly sought after by riders who aren't happy with the latest redesign. You cannot purchase this frame any longer. The last of them sold out in Feb 2020. This bike has only been ridden for about 1000km and is in excellent shape. Never dropped. It's a full carbon frame, including the fork. Comes with a brand new super durable and comfortable Stan's Flow wheelset (Flow rims, Stan's Neo Hubs, and Sapim double butted spokes). With a 29mm inner rim width you can conquer any trail with the right MTB tires, or make it a plush urban/road/touring weapon. It will fit up to 2.4" MTB tires. Price is firm. This is not the season to hesitate on the bike of your dreams! This is an excellent entry in to owning a carbon bike, and the perfect all in one bike for the minimalist rider. Note: My saddle and clipless pedals currently on the bike aren't included. I have a new WTB touring saddle that I will include. I do not have spare pedals, and these bikes never come with pedals anyhow.
