take a look here for more info:
http://twentynineinches.com/2008/06/...-the-big-mama/ very very nice, but I think I'm going to have to get a part time job at a bike shop to afford one... $1400.00-$1500.00 for the frame!! |

 Sort of surprised they went with the same/similar colors as the current Dos. It's nice, but nothing earth shattering. Hope someone around here picks one up so we can see it! |

Couldnt take the shadowy photo. Wonder what it weighs? It needs a downtube water bottle cage though.

The bike is very well thought out... love the rocker and the rear brake mount.
Can't believe Jason wouldn't spill the name then comes up with "big mama" ? eesh. Hopefully available in another color option as well. I loved it in black. I think the price is in the sweet spot... more coin than bargain FS frames, and significantly less than boutiques like Turder or Ells. |

7lbs actually isn't that fair out of range for a 4" 29er frame. Turner, Ellsworth, Ventana and Niner are all in that same ballpark depending on size.
If you want a light 29er FS.......there's only one way to go:-) B |

If I am understanding the article correctly, it doesn't have a pivot near the rear drop out, but it does indeed have a pivot near the BB. Interesting concept. Hopefully it works well.

Check out http://www.salsacycles.com/
The PDF has more pics of the frame. Some cool stuff going on with the construction on this frame. Dual replaceable dropouts, BB/chainstay yoke looks real sick. Guess it's more a All-mtn. 4" bike. Perhaps a good candidate for a Reba 120mm TA fork?

They've got some nics pics and animation on the Salsa site.
http://www.salsacycles.com/bigmama08.html# Edit: the specs on the complete bike says it comes with a black F29 100mm. Probably a typo, but we'll see. http://www.salsacycles.com/bigmamaComp08.html
