I've gone for the horsethief, as it seemed the best compromise for what I wanted in a bike - and comes in a good size. Once it arrives and I've got it built I'll post back...and how I get one once I've ridden it a bit.

I hear what folk are saying about the chainstays, but then they aren't everything and it's not been a huge issue for me before...but we'll see. Pros and cons to long stays, as with everything!

I have it's predecessor, the Salsa Big Mama which has silly long chainstays (a std shimano chain has to be lengthened to fit a 3x9 drivetrain) and i've never had an issue with the handling and i also have a super short rear ended Honzo as well. Can't say i really notice any difference in the real world.

Post up some pics once the Horsethief is done, it'll be interesting to see it.
