 | | Salsa Chili Con Crosso | It's here! If you read my post about the new Salsa Chili Con Crosso race cross frame you know I am geeked about this frame. Cyclocross is my passion and the Chili Con Crosso will be my gear fix for the 2007 season. It is now in stock for the first time. If you are looking for a new race frame this one should be on the top of your list. Please note that due to a fire at a supplier's manufacturing plant, the Chili Con Crosso does not include a matching fork. Frame only, you are free to add your own spice up front.

 | | click to enlarge | Crafted from custom-drawn scandium tubing with a painted-to-match Salsa carbon fork, everything about Chili Con Crosso is optimized for racing ‘cross. Its specially shaped chainstays and seatstays are designed to flex vertically while remaining laterally rigid. That slight vertical compliance delivers some cush for the tush while you’re laying the power down through the rough stuff.

 | | click to enlarge | While you probably won’t carry water bottles while you’re racing, we provide braze-ons for two cages to make the Chili Con Crosso more versatile and training-friendly. Just because you’re only racing an hour, doesn’t mean you’re always only riding an hour.
If you’re the type that dreams of cowbells ringing in Belgium, thinks 32mm tires are fat, and wishes fall lasted the whole year, our Chili Con Crosso is the bike for you.
Chili Con Crosso. The gun at the knife fight.
