| Big Beauty... The burnt orange paint on the Big Mama has always been one of my favorite Salsa colors. |
I've decided it's time to sell my beloved Salsa Big Mama... It's something I've been putting off for quite some time, as I'm a big fan of the bike, but ultimately I can't justify having two four inch travel full suspension 29"ers... I just don't end up riding the bike enough to keep it around, so I'm letting it go to a home that can put it to better use.
If you're in the market for a very budget friendly full suspension 29"er and you ride a 20"/Large frame, please consider my very clean Salsa Big Mama as an option for your next bike. Following are a few descriptive photos, along with contact details for me if you're interested in chatting and learning more.
 |
| The Control Center... Quality components throughout, including a Salsa Pro Moto Ti stem and Bend 3 bar, SRAM X7 GripShift and Hayes HFX hydraulic brakes. |
 |
| A King headset and Manitou Minute (100mm travel) fork anchor the front of the bike. The Minute features Manitou's latest Absolute + compression damper. The fork's lower legs are nearly new, the result of a warranty replacement, so the bushings are just broken in... no more. Overall, it's an incredible performing fork. |
 |
| A Fox RP2 provides damping for the rear suspension and the low-leverage design is a proven performer. For my 155 lb weight, I only needed to run 88lbs of pressure, making it super sensitive to small bumps, yet the rising rate linkage provides enough ramp up to eliminate bottoming. It's a great performing design. |
 |
| The drivetrain is an excellent performing combination of a Shimano Deore XT front deraileur and SRAM X7 rear derailleur. They drive the chain across a TruVativ Stylo Team crank (22/32/44 triple) and a SRAM cassette (11-34). Nothing super fancy, but durable, reliable parts that won't let you down in the middle of nowhere. |
 |
| The Big Mama frame includes seven custom forged pieces, two of which are shown in this image. It's a robust, very well-built frame! |
 |
| A Thomson Elite seatpost (31.6mm) and WTB RocketV Team Ti rail saddle offer up a comfortable perch for long miles. |
The frame and all included parts are in excellent shape and function perfectly. I'm asking $1,100, plus shipping. Please contact me with any questions, at the phone number or address listed in the comments section.
Thanks for your time and consideration. Happy trails!
