Salsa Dos Niner es muy caliente!

So the first frame has arrived at Bike 29.
It is truly something to behold. It is a Salsa Dos Niner, in an amazing metallic green finish. Pictures do not do it justice at all, but it is like candy.

For those that aren't familiar with the Dos Niner, it is a pivotless soft-tail, made from scandium. For those that aren't familiar with scandium, this is worth a quick read, but basically it's an alloy that was once used on things like nuclear missiles, for it's high strength to weight ratio among other things.
This missile's mission is to dominate the local race circuit this summer at the Wednesday night race series. It will be light. Stupid light.
You will want one. I know I do. Pictures of the built bike will follow shortly, along with the spec, and most importantly, the weight.
Stay tuned!
