Parts marked with as * are known to be non-original parts. Bikes were often customized at the time of purchase or were different as shown in the catalogs so exact specifications were subject to change. |
This has been a
pretty tough bike to find out about. Looks like a pretty standard
Amp-style rear that was commonly used among some of the smaller bike
makers. I can't find any catalog or magazine information.
I've contacted Salsa, Chumba Wumba (maker of the rear end) and Soulcraft
and have not been able to get very clear info. From what I have
been able to discern so far: Salsa made the front triangles in Petaluma,
Chumba Wumba made the rear ends (and possibly Titus later). They
were made starting in 1994 and were set up for the IRD Widget brake
since there was no cantilever stop. When V brakes came out in 1996
it eliminated this particular problem. Not sure what year this
bike was made but it appears to have been built around 1996 by the parts
package that was installed. If you have any more info on this
bike, please let us know.
