FS: Salsa Stormchaser complete build

Due to some personal issues I’ve made the heartbreaking decision to see if there’s any interest in my Salsa Stormchaser SS gravel bike.

Centrepiece of this build is the amazing Salsa Stormchaser frame (https://www.salsacycles.com/bikes/2021_stormchaser_single_speed). It’s a top quality Alu frame with carbon fork and has to be ridden to be believed.

Frame size is 56. Salsa size up small so this is a 54 road bike equivalent in most brands. See photo for geo which helpfully Salsa include on the frame.

This is the original run of frames, limited to 150 worldwide. It was built up to my desired spec by Keep Pedalling in Manchester 3 years ago with the intention of being raced at the Dirty Kanza, but that never happened so it’s been confined to trips around the New Forest (for which it’s the perfect bike!).

Currently running a 38/18 and I have a spare 17t somewhere that I can include.

The wheels were hand built by Just Riding Along in York. They are the trail dog xc25 model (https://www.justridingalong.com/product/traildog-trail-alu/#single-or-pair-of-wheels) with gold nipples and hub sleeve to match the frame. These are not SS specific wheels and could be run with a shimano / Sram cassette. The frame is designed to allow a 1x geared set up if desired.

Salsa cowchipper bars, raceface turbine crank.

GRX hydro brakes. The right lever is a brifter to allow easy conversion to a 1x geared set up of required.

Running 650b x 47 terravail tyres (cannonball front, Washburn back). The latter is basically brand new.

Would consider splitting if separate form interest in the frame and wheels.

Original build cost was £3400 and looking for offers around £1750

Not my thing but what a goldie lookin beast. GLWS.

You were going to do Dirty Kanza on one gear????

This is lovely i hope you get a swift sale. I'm having to keep reminding myself i don't need and can't afford another bike right now and I've sold all my previous SS because i just don't ride them much. However i don't have any SS at the moment or any Gold bikes so that's two boxes ticked. +1 turmoil is strong with this one. I would have snapped this up 6 months ago.

How does the conversion to 1x work on these? Is there a different drop out place with a hanger et al?

Lovely bike seems like perfect for Kanza, these are so tempting. GLWS

Price drop to £1500

really helpful that they have the basic geo details on the sticker but not really sure how someone 5'7 would be able to reach the handlebars on a 56cm top tube?

With flat bars at a guess?
