With the handful of Fargo and Vaya bikes now circulating around town, there are more and more people aware of Salsa's wood chipper bar. For everyone else, here it is!
At first glance it looks like a strange choice for bikes designed for all-terrain use. But dropped bars on single track and dirt roads has a rich history. Originally it was Charlie Cunningham and his sidekick Jacquie Phelan who ran drop-bars off road with fine results. Here is Jacquie doing what she does best; beating up boys!
They still may not be the best handlebar for everyone, but having a couple more hand positions on your adventure bike might be kind of nice. The Salsa bar allows for use with STI brake/shift levers and also takes bar-end shifters and is available in two widths 42 and 46mm.
