About time that paint got interesting again.
Reminds me of 80s/90s Klein

I like the paint on the cuthroat, nice that. The top beargrease in purples nice too, other two a bit ... hmmm... but then I guess they'd look good in real life.

That middle one - "For when a fat bike doesn't say "look at me!" with enough volume"

reminds me of a pink /green stump jumper from around 88? i thought it was totally amazing at the time although my jaded graphic design eyes would probably vomit these days.

i do like the pink/orange fade job though on the bg...

My best friend had that. I remember trying to find touch-up paint as it chipped easily 🙂

It looked amazing at the time.

Have you noticed the Pony Rustler is exactly the same as the Horsethief bar paint and the size wheels it comes with, bit of a strange choice to go with 2 'models' which shops need to stock.

Now Salsa has a UK distributor we can hope to see some of these, but im bracing myself for the prices, the Carbon Pony is already $700 more than similar spec Specialized Camber (£3000 UK price), can see that being a £4000 bike by the time it hits our shops.

I'm really liking the orange/pink paint think it looks very smart, hope they have done a colour coded front fork, but I fear not, it's all about the bluto these days.
