View Full Version : La Cruz color mosborn71 05-04-2008, 06:39 AM Is there only one color option of the stock La Cruz? Dajianshan 05-04-2008, 06:50 PM Sorry man, Salsa's crack team of colorists and designers craft each color around the bike. Some of the appeal comes from the fact that they use parts of the Pantone book which include "urine and baby$hit", "sinus infection" and "Pea-Green Family Truckster". I personally like it. It's a middle finger at the cool elegance of the Euro-look bikes. The Chili has a great color scheme too. Go with it and work with it if you like the bike. the pope 05-04-2008, 07:09 PM I hear you, man. The Salsa Casseroll looks like a 1977 Buick Skylark. JohnHemlock 05-05-2008, 06:04 AM I hear you, man. The Salsa Casseroll looks like a 1977 Buick Skylark. I have been trying to put my finger on the colors since riding my new bike home on Friday, thanks! Gotta quit letting internet randomes mess with my pride of ownership but my Casseroll colors do sort of look like baby poop and a dehydrated piss smeared on an old Skylark.:thumbsup: Dajianshan 05-05-2008, 06:18 AM LOL!!! I lucked out... I got the Las Cruces... which means I can match anything with it.. as long as it's orange. the pope 05-05-2008, 06:35 AM I have been trying to put my finger on the colors since riding my new bike home on Friday, thanks!

Does it smell like Jack Klugman in Quincy? When you let air from the tubes is it, in fact, Hai Karate? http://www.foreignmego.com/plaid/brick.jpg pretender 05-05-2008, 06:56 AM The La Cruz is basically a variation of Molteni orange, no? I happen to dig that color, YMMV. Dajianshan 05-05-2008, 07:11 AM It is a Salsa... put some hydraulics and dingle balls on it...and a little chain-link handlebar... You might call the color "Spray-on Tan". JohnHemlock 05-05-2008, 09:00 AM Not to diss your ride but when you remove the headset cap does it smell like old cigars in an ashtray?

Anyway, the chicks at the Playboy Club think it's a great bike. I've got 80 miles on it already and the only thing I don't care for is the CB radio mount!

That poster hung in the laundry room of my parents house all my life. What a memory to have.:rolleyes: the pope 05-05-2008, 02:11 PM I got the Telly Savalas scented model, they were out of Klugman.

The CBs are good if you got a bogey on your backside. |
