Salsa Blackthorn and Cassidy
Anyone here have a Salsa Blackthorn or Cassidy? Or spent time demo-ing? Would like to hear your thoughts.
The Blackthorn in particular, in the carbon SLX build, is an enticing package. Numbers are similar to the new Devinci Troy, but less expensive.

I have a Devinci Marshall 29 with the split pivot suspension, and I like the split pivot - but given Covid availability of bikes, I could sell that Marshall for more than I paid, and move to a Blackthorn for not a big $ increase.

Ugggggh that matte tan color sucks (GOTOS rig anyone?) but the geo and spec on the Blackthorn looks great
