ISO Salsa Caseroll recipes

[Conway Bennett]

Awhile back I solicited input for a rivish bike for my partner's grad school graduation/birthday bike. She had more less taken over my hunqish cross check so I ended up buying us a vacation. THEN her parents offered to buy her a LBS bike. All of the stuff I was interested in for her wasn't available for test rides-soma saga, handsome xoxo, Riv San Marcos or NOS '12 salsa caseroll. Low and behold I found a practically new caseroll locally for $700 so I jumped on it. I stepped on some toes but she loves it. It's stock now but I'm interested in her having a more rivish build which is self serving because now I get to tinker. I want to buy used first then I'll fill in gaps at rivbike. What I'm ISO are:

VP pedals
44 noodles
TRP levers
Bar end shifters
IRD threadless 1 1/8" x 45 degree x 80 mm
Soma c line tires
Nitto post
Lightly used brooks b-17 or similar
Wald medium basket

Thanks in advance!

FW,

CCB

I urge you to have your partner test a Brooks saddle before you pick one for her. There is a good reason why many women like seats with cutouts. If one's saddle issue is with the rear of the saddle, a Brooks can be a good choice. If one's saddle issue is with the front of the saddle, a Brooks, being flat, may well make it worse.

Some women love Brooks saddles. I wouldn't want to ride a quarter of a mile on one.

It isn't a contest. Enjoy the ride.

I think I have some 44 noodles but I'll need to measure when I get home tonight.

Keep the metal side up and the rubber side down!

Thanks Jim!  And to Anne,  she has been riding my contoured-to my butt -sprung b-17 with no complaints so I'm thinking something slightly used that will form a symbiotic relationship with her should do fine.  Thanks for the quick response and female perspective!

Fair winds,

Fun times!

I'd recommend the Rivet over the Brooks - cut-out and the sides won't splay out.

The rivet saddles are really nice. I'd like one for myself. Splaying can easily be fixed with laces which VO includes with their saddles which both of mine are.
