We are now stocking the Salsa Casseroll single. There are two in stock and ready to go home with you. If you are not located locally then give us a call at (817) 924-1333 or (817) 924-2453 and we'll box one up and ship it to you. Sizing is a little tricky, it helps to reference the Salsa geometry chart and know your preferred horizontal top tube length. The bike is actually available in single speed form or geared with a triple crankset. Purchasing a frameset and adding your components is also an option. Check the last page of the gallery on our website to see a satisfied Casseroll triple customer.
Here is what Salsa has to say about the Casseroll Single:
Simple and to the point, Casseroll Single gets you where you want to go with singlespeed gearing. A singlespeed road bike you say? Yup. We’re talking one gear that you pedal fast or slow, up hills and down, and all around town.
Casseroll Single starts out with our extremely versatile Casseroll frameset. Crafted of Salsa Classico CroMoly, the frameset provides the resilient feel that steel is famous for. It feels good while you ride it!
Designed around long reach brakes, the frameset allows you to run nice large road tires: 700c x 37mm without fenders and 700c x 32mm with full fenders. Big tires may add some weight, but we feel the extra comfort is well worth it while riding on rough roads or well-worn paths.
Our partially polished, stainless steel, forward-entry horizontal dropouts make for easy chain tensioning. Interested in running fixed? Flip-flop the rear Surly New hub and add a track cog. Finishing touches include fender and rear rack mount braze-ons, and a pump peg.
Fine, functional parts like Surly New hubs laced to Salsa Delgado Cross rims, long-reach Tektro 521 AG brakes R20 brake levers, Sugino RD2 singlespeed crankset with 48T ring, and Continental Contact 37mm tires keep you rolling. The WTB Silverado Race saddle with Salsa embroidery, Salsa Moto Ace Short & Shallow bars, and painted-to-match Salsa CroMoto stem top it off.
Casseroll Single is all about riding while not fretting over what gear you’re in. Just roll up those pants cuffs, spin those pedals, and go somewhere. Enjoy the simple life, try riding single.
Casseroll Single. Getting the job done…simply.
Word to the wise. Change your handlebar tape and clean your bars before it gets to this point. I was changing the bar tape on a customers bike (who shall remain nameless) and discovered this glowing mass of sodium. Out came the rubber gloves for the rest of the job. I think Sully used some of it to season his low sodium soup. After some antibacterial soap and some elbow grease with a scotch brite pad I could see the Aluminum. The real point is that sodium can react with the Aluminum and corrode and fatigue the handlebar. Be safe, change your tape regularly.
