1990 Fat City Cycles Team Comp
This bike is cool as hell, in my opinion. The GP Wilson dropouts are neat. It was made for Heidi, the founder of NEMBA, and she recently decided to let it go. The grouppo is Campagnolo. Thanks Heidi for letting me get it from you. I'll take care of it for sure. Coast to coast, it is well loved.
I am missing the pump. If anybody has a good lead on one, can you ping me through the comment section? Thanks!

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:
