Horrible Customer Service.
9 months ago
I hate to dog a bike based upon a companies customer service - but Salsa sucks. I have never had a more toxic experience with a customer service team. All I asked them was what the chain-line was on the bike and boy, you would have thought I had asked them to drink bleach or something. If there is another bike manufacturer that you like - go with them. I regret my purchase based upon the people at Salsa.
