Verkaufe Now splitting: 3 x Salsa Alacarte 1985/1990/1990

[haaland]

Hi folks -

An Alacarte for all occations - 3 at one time. In every size as well - small, medium and large.

1. Salsa Alacarte 1985, #SM127 - fillet brazed (only year)

This 1985 Alacarte is fillet brazed, has double roller cams and are all original besides tires and stem. The decals almost seems hand painted, but it is a "true varnish-on decals. An extremely head ache filled way on doing decals, but the very best for that thin paired on look" - According to Ross Shafer. Bought from the original owner last year, switched the tires to a set of Specialized Hard Pack and switched the original Specialized stem to a cooler (and early) Salsa Pro Moto stem. It rides like a dream.

22.5" c/c top tube, 21"(if I remember correctly" c/c seat tube. Fits me great at 182 cm.

Paint has patina and would be repainted if it wasn't original I'd say. But hey, original once.

This was the only year of the Scoboni Alacarte, the fillet brazed frames were too labor intensive and made the frames so expensive to make that Salsa lose a lot of money on these.

Looking for €1900 for this

2. Salsa Alacarte 1990,#SM490

This 1990 Salsa Alacarte, 17", has all the bells and whistles - the Bontrager comp fork, the Pro Moto stem and bar plus a pretty sweet Shimano Deore XT package.

[manuelschafer]

Small Frame ideal for Dirt Drops or..

[haaland]

Open to offers.

I think I can get a silver Salsa stem for it if someone is interested in that.

 

[haaland]

First post updated with some coming sales

 

[marco1269]

Hello Bjørnar,

please register my interest for the '87 Merlin with the Kosky fork

in case you will decide to sell it as frameset I will be very very interested

Thank you very much

All the best,
Marco

 

[haaland]

Sure, @marco1269 - but I guess it’s maybe a bit small for you. It’s 15” or so (but not as small at it seems I’d say).

Oh nooooo

It's a shame .... I can try to minimize me a little bit but 15"... it's really small

Then I will wait for your green O.G. - no rush from my side

All the best

 

[bundi]

Hi Bjørnar, what about the pink Mountain Goat from 1988, especially size? Best regards, Basil

 

[haaland]

Hi

It’s an 18” bike @bundi. Haven’t got around to build it yet, but have all the parts including a white Bullseye crankset.

 

[bundi]

Oooh, how pretty - alas, too small. But thanks a lot for the reply, anyway! Regards, Basil

 

[haaland]

First post updated again - The Salsa is rebuilt and offered for a lower price.

 

[caemis]

Hi Bjønar, whats the new price and whats the size (I may have read over it...)

Cheers,
Marco

The no logo Headsets.....I ll write u a PN.

Regards Emil

 

[troje]

For me both Bontrager forks please. Will respond in pm. Thanks, Jeroen

 

[bundi]

Definitely interested in the SM524 frame. What is the length of the steerer tube and the seat post diameter? Many thanks, Basil

 

[alla]

If there are any no logo head sets left, I'd take one, or two. Will PM you.

 

[haaland]

Hi all

I will try to answer out all replies during the day, likely when I'm finished at work. Seems like the headsets are popular

@bundi - the seat post is 26.8 - I have some - IRD repro and original (both silver) and XT 730 (black). Just have to see what I need first before I decide on a couple of them. I will measure the steerer tube later today.

 

[bundi]

Thanks a bunch!
