***Frame set only****

I'm going to build up more of a road/ cyclo X build so this gem is up for grabs. Mint. Only a few months old. Does not come with headset.

Size small (but it is more like a medium). More info here: http://www.salsacycles.com/fargoComp09.html

Bump. Price is now a low $650

I'm surprised you're selling it so soon Paul. Too much of a halfway house between a mountainbike and a road bike? Did it ever see dirt btw?

espec since unlike a 'proper' cx frame you can run discs and bigger than legal tyres

I've been nothing but impressed that's for sure. Only negative I can come up with is the hanger/tug is a bit of a pain when changing a flat (but at least you can get the wheel out without removing the rear caliper - which some other frames require)

Have you go the short drop frame or long MTB bar frame?

the long/mtb frame (in the larger 20" size - doesn't look as much of a farm gate as I feared) - wanted to build it up with flat bars for commuting (since I'm running a 120mm stem I could still switch to a 100mm stem and run drops if I wanted anyway - it's equiv to a 60cm road frame)

Good idea
