Adam’s Salsa Warbird - 56cm

Adam works as a Sr. Sales rep in the shop, this is what they have to say about their Warbird.
*
“The Salsa Warbird isn't a fragile, ultralight carbon frame. It's light, but also built tough, designed to take a few hits and keep on rolling. Adding to the durability is a layer of matte finish ridewrap, underneath which you can still see the carbon fiber layup glistening on a sunny day. Keeping with the carbon theme, Campagnolo made an astonishing crankset as the center of its gravel-specific Ekar groupset. They said you shouldn't mix rice and pasta, so I told them to hold my beer and mounted the Ergopower levers on a PRO Discover carbon handlebar for a comfortable, vibration damping cockpit. Further damping vibrations are BERD polymer spokes, wide Boyd CCC rims, and extralight Rene Herse Juniper Ridge tires. For carrying gear, bags from Swift, plus a custom frame bag made locally by Esoteric Fabworks. Further bags can be mounted on a Tubus rear rack and titanium Manything cages by King Cage. A Shutter Precision dynamo powers a Sinewave Beacon, which is wired through the frame and rack to a Busch and Muller rear light. This bike is designed to ride through rough gravel trails day or night, rain or shine, without needing to stop and recharge. In fact, its an anti-E-bike, allowing its rider to recharge devices using their own legs and lungs.”
