UPDATE:
(January 2024).This bike is now destroyed, less than 8 months after building it :(
I got involved in a pretty serious crash with it.
UPDATE II:
(October 2024).I now have a new Warbird to replace this one. Hopefully it will last longer.
STATS:
I used this bike more than any other I had before, I rode it for approximately 10000km during those 8 months.It was near perfect, thought that I would keep it for the rest of my life, which was almost the case, but a bit sooner than expected.
It can be seen being used in those trips/events:
Normandicat 900
Spring bikepacking trip
Big Big Fat Ride #1
Summer bikepacking trip
Poco Loco Aix-en-Provence ➜ Milano
Unfortunately, this bike was destroyed in a very bad crash, only 8 months after building it. But thanks to the Salsa team, I now have a new Warbird to replace the broken one. Pictures and adventures of the new one will be published on a separate page, so this one can rest in peace.
