2012 Salsa El Mariachi Ti Bike

The 2012 Salsa El Mariachi Ti is an unbelievable value. A US handmade titanium frame with a sweet build kit with all the great ride qualities of a hardtail 29er plus the amazing ride of titanium. It is made of custom spec’d 3/2.5 seamless titanium tubes. With a biaxially ovalized downtube to stiffen both the bottom bracket and the headtube. Speaking of the headtube, the ZS44mm will work with either a 1-1/8” – 1.5” tapered or straight 1-1/8” steer tube. There is clearance for a 2.3” tire. Another nice touch is that the water bottle bosses are TIG-welded in instead of riveted (a sweet touch).
