Uh-oh! 2019 Salsa Warbird V4
Uh-oh! I've been looking for a 2019 Warbird V4 frameset -- they are sold out. But worse news may be afoot. My LBS was put on a "stop sale" order for Warbird V4's in stock. It appears that the new Warbird fork is, possibly, going to be recalled. Ouch!
I hope it's an easy and quick process. The V4 is an awesome bike! (It looks as if I will be riding my Checkpoint a little longer than planned.)

Our shop sells the Salsa Warbird, Jamis Renegade, Bombtrack EXT, 3T Exploro and Open. With the Warbirds on the floor unsellable at present due to warranty issues we are getting a lot of folks considering the Open Classic and Open UP instead. That is the bike that Salsa tried to copy with the 2019 version of the Warbird just released. Open was started by Vroomen who was a founder of Cervelo and BMC, He is also te product designer for 3T. An excellent pedigree and the reason Salsa tried to copy his frame design.

As a roadie who got his first gravel bike a year ago I went with a cx bike that ended up feeling similar to my road bike, but with clearance for 33mm tires. I’ve since sold that to buy a bike less like the road bike (650b x 2.2 clearance, more mounts than I can imagine) and find it more enjoyable...but that’s me.
