I do all types of riding, but this bike will be used for commuting/touring
What do I NOT like about it... I'd rather it be 520 steel than 4130 chromo
I was also considering the Cross Check as my friend just built one about a month ago. I can say first hand that the Salsa has better paint,welds,geometry,and it's way better looking than either of the color choices for the Cross Check.
Hi BSE,
Thanks for responding. I've been leaning toward the Salsa and your praise is good to hear. But without a test ride I'm hesitant to make that commitment. Also, I'd need a 50 or 52 frame, unfortunately, or I probably would take the risk on the Salsa at that price.
Thanks again. Cheers.
