SALSA Cycles STORMCHASER FRAMESET
The Stormchaser single speed frameset is designed from the ground-up to take on gravel rides in inclement weather. The lightweight aluminum frame features gravel race geometry similar to Warbird; Class 5™ VRS to absorb road impacts; our all-new sliding Alternator Flat Mount dropouts make single speeding simple, and the included geared dropout plate adds 1x drivetrain compatibility; and extra tire clearance for managing mud. The carbon fiber fork is also prepared for anything—abrasion plates prevent wear from mud-caked tires, Three-Pack mounts add extra storage for water or gear, and internal routing keeps your brake hose and dynamo cable out of the elements. The Stormchaser single speed gravel frameset is a stellar starting point for a bike that performs rain or shine.
