I did get it at Halter's, from Jason. I actually didn't realize it until last night but an old friend works for Salsa's parent company in MN.

Thanks in advance.

I'm almost 62, an intermediate road rider who can ride forever but gets challenged on steep ascents, a little overweight, with one balky knee. I've never ridden a mountain...

Damn you're nasty. And not smart. The first post makes clear for the 7th grade reader that the LBS told me the steerer tube was cut. Were you born this rude or is there some kind of supplement you...
