Salsa Big Mamma
First bike of show and the first time in years I have ridden straight bars on dirt. In addition all of bikes have the brakes opposite of my personal bikes so I was I bit tentive on the trail.

In the middle ring it does not mind at all to be treated like a singlespeed ok the climbs. Just stand and hammer (never used the inner ring). It does bob on the big ring when out of the saddle (not an issue for the intended use).
