Salsa stem recall and more

I (Matt Ashley) recently found out about a recall of a small amount of Salsa stems that may break during riding. Salsa of course has stepped up and informed their suppliers and customers of the danger and will be replacing those stems ASAP. I'm sure that we here at Kinetic Systems have some customers with a stem affected by this recall. So, if you have purchased an El Mariachi 29 inch MTB or a La Cruz CX bike from us please contact the store immedietly. You can read the story about this recall here.... http://www.velonews.com/article/88647/salsa-recalling-some-cromoto-sul-stems

Speaking of Salsa Bicycles, Louise arrived back from the Frostbike show last week and was able to check out some of their latest lineup. The latest from Salsa is the Fargo. The Fargo is a very unique adventure touring MTB which has been highly anticipated by much of the cycling community. The Fargo comes with 29 inch tires, drop bars for mulitple hand positions, disc brakes, and a whopping 6 bottle cages. Other changes include the new paint scheme on the ever popular Chili Con Crosso. As you all know, we love 'cross here and this bike doesn't dissapoint with a light-weight scandium frameset matched to a custom painted Alpha Q CX20 fork. To check out the new paint scheme and all the other cool toys from Salsa check out their site here... http://www.salsacycles.com/
