I wouldn't buy that as just frame and fork. It isn't a bad color but the reason I would want it is mainly the old Scott Bars because those things are just neat but I wouldn't pay much for them.

And that frame is rad; I'd totally do it for $130.

Today I will be shoveling some snow. As I did yesterday. And the day before that.
Winter sucks huge.

See if the seller can ship it for cheaper, unless he's charging you to pack it up as well. I recently shipped a full suspension MTB, wheels and all, for $80 FWIW through bikeflights.

But the versatility and the 130mm dropouts are throwing me off. Too many options.
I've got track wheels I could respace to 130, just to get the bike on the road quickly, but then would you go with a track specific crankset (like Omniums for example) and throw a new 3/32 chainring on if I decide to go a geared route in the future? Or use a road 1x crankset (like the Sram Force 1) to make that an easier option in the future?

The more I look at the cost of groupsets, I'm thinking the same thing.

A little bit of everything hopefully. Some road/greenway stuff and a little off road fun in a nearby state park that has everything from long rolling fire roads to single track. And then if I still have it come next season, a crash course in losing cross races.

I wouldn't use a track crankset. You'll probably find way more chainring options if you go with something that's 130 or 110 bcd.

+1 to this. I actually very recently tried reusing a track crankset I had laying around, when building up my sscx frameset. Not only did it limit me from being able to use the smaller chainrings I wanted for muddy and hilly cross courses, the chainline was absolutely rubbish, not really usable at all. Bought a SRAM Apex1/S350 crankset for a good deal, came with the 42T ring I wanted too, and it's so great. Highly recommended.

Had fun training at the track, and actually won one of our play races. Movin' on up, as they say.

My issue with the races is that they're not terribly long, I looked into those a while ago, our salsa rep is an ex-triathlete that got into those
They're definitely interesting and im sure ill participate in something like that in the future, whether its an actual race or something i just start doing solo

I was running with GUTS down here for a little while. These guys are obsessed...
GUTS - Georgia Ultrarunning and Trailrunning Society - Home
Definitely fun though.
