2017 Salsa Warbird with 11-32 Super Record!

[morrisond]

I just had my 2017 Warbird out for it's inaugural spin - Love it!

Rides great even at 60PSI (Compass Bon Pass 38mm) and nice and stiff under acceleration. It's my Winter Road/Summer Gravel Bike.

I did one little neat mod (Which I got off this site) - I had an extra Campy Super Record Group but I wanted Lower gearing - so I took the Cages off an Potenza 11-32 RD and used a Potenza 11-32 cassette so I have 52/36-11/32 Gearing - it works great! The alloy cages (vs normal Super Record Carbon) are probably a good idea for when I ride gravel anyways.

Wheels are great too - new i9 AR25 - 21mm Internal.

I've got some Conti E-bike tires coming for when we get real snow (I live in Oakville, Ontario, Canada). They look nice and sticky and only 470 grams for Folding 37mm http://www.continental-tires.com/bicycl ... r2-premium

Fenders will go this week as well (The 2017 Warbird has fender mounts)

On and about 8.3 KG with Pedals and and Cages - no light but not an anchor.
