Sorry needed to repost just noticed I was not able to get all the photos in. Photos are all in now. Looks like this bike is dropping in February, with dealers getting full details in January. I’m in the market for a new gravel bike, and right now the top contenders on my list are the Ari Shafer 3.0 and maybe the Rodeo Labs Trail Donkey, but the price on the Trail Donkey is a bit steep. I am going to be retiring my Lynskey GR300, and leaving it on the trainer once this build is complete.
Now that Salsa is teasing this new bike, I’m really hoping it can fit 2.25” tires so I can tackle rougher bikepacking trails. Hopefully they have added UDH and T47 Bottom Bracket. I have a brand-new SRAM Rival E1 AXS groupset just sitting in the guest bedroom waiting to go on a bike.
If the specs are solid, this Salsa could potentially bump the Ari Shafer off my shortlist. What is everyone elses thoughts on the bike?

This bike has me nearly regretting my new Salsa Journeyer 1×12 GRX. I’m going to upgrade the tires but it’s a beast and I’m super happy with it but damn… this flyaway is gorgeous
Looks awesome. I’m fully prepared to be disappointed.
