Salsa Casserole

casserole tour
This Salsa Casserole is a unique build for David E. He wanted a bike to use for long distance touring and Brevets. The Casserole is a highly adaptale frame perfectly suited for the job. A beautifully made cro-moly frame with a longish wheel base makes for a smooth all day comfort ride. The low gearing is made possible by combining MTB cassette and derailleur with a T.A. Specialties Carmina crankset. Nice features include a Schmidt dynamo hub with a Busch & Muller powered headlight and a Brooks B-17 saddle. Very nice!

Ridley Noah with Di2 drive train, Zipp 404 Firecrest wheels and Quarq Cinqo power meter crank set. This bike was created for Gerry R. who wanted a bike with great aerodynamics on a lightweight platform that offered optimum power transmission and sharp handling. Gerry's first ride report went something like this "Wow, this thing is amazing! If my Scott Addict is a porsche, this bike is an F1 race car. It's better than I hoped it would be."
