yes my roomie has the 08. size 54 and i need a 56 but still very nice as well. I think the salsa has a more easy ride overall, but the Tri-X is quick. Higher gearing on the tri also and being that i'm new to riding that might be something to consider. It's the same price basically so bang for the buck what would you do? and it's really fricking expensive for a damn single speed. I mean 900? is that REALLY worth it? maybe i should get a cheap draft for 300 bucks.
