Frostbike: Salsa 2014 Preview!

So, I have been lucky enough to be invited to Frostbike in Minnesota for several years now. QBP puts on this event every year to showcase their brands and new products and interact with their dealers in a more intimate setting than you typically find in Las Vegas at the Interbike trade show. There are seminars and product previews and lots of beer drinking. It is very cold and snowy here right now, but what is going on is HOT! 
Salsa just unveiled their 2014 plans for a small group of dealers, after signing non-discloseur agreements, and I have to say that I am impressed. Every year refining what they have and pushing it even further.
They did allow us to leak these photos of their new FULL CARBON Beargrease! When I say full carbon, I mean frame and fork, with through axles front and rear. The complete build with SRAM XX1 is rumored to be 24 lbs, which for a fat bike is totally amazing. 
We got to see this bike in person and it was unbelievable. Surely a sign of bigger and better things to keep coming from Salsa Cycles.
Enjoy these pics, don't drool on your computers too much.
