Salsa Colossal
 
Does anyone have experience with the Salsa Colossal?

I would buy an All City Space Horse if they had a disc brake model.
I was looking at the Salsa line up.
The Colossal stood out.
(I am a steel frame aficionado)

I own a colossal. I have never owned a steel bike and don't really know why i bought it. I love the look of modern day carbon bikes, but always nervous like its made of glass. The few times i road the colossal on the road, it was solid and was one of the best descending bikes i ever rode. Don't know if thats the steel or the colossal. Since then i have it connected to a wahoo kicker and its where i spend my time riding around zwift.

A gravel road/adventure bike will have more trail and a longer wheelbase than a traditional road bike.

It will feel stable and handle predictably. You won't have to fight the bike to make it go where you want.

Its a true all-rounder. Not meant for speed but long distance riding in comfort.

The Salsa Colossal is that kind of bike.
