A Big Pile of Old Bikes: 1992 Salsa Ala Carte with Jelly Bean Paint

Back before Ross Shafer sold Salsa Cycles to some big company, he made them in Petaluma, Calif. with a handful of employees. This is one of my favorite bikes. I love this little bike. Probably the first vintage mountain bike that I've ever loved. Rides great. Nimble and true. I realize now that there's a couple of things I need to fix and will update pictures when that happens. If it wasn't so damned dialed, it would have been fixed sooner. Oh well. Here it is for now:
