So which one are you keeping now? What about the Blackborow. still in the picture?Been waiting since 2019 for a Muk. Buy an OTSO. We get 3 in stock and we're not even a Salsa Dealer anymore 🤣

Yep, not a big fan of the alloy muk, some weird stuff going on there…thankfully I’m not on the market for yet another bike, the Otso would be definitely on my radar otherwise. Ironically I have 3 wheelsets for the fat bike, obviously they’re all peasant level, ça va sans dire!OTSO definitely stays, that bike is so dope. I still have the Blackborrow too, just need a 2nd set of wheels to put it back together.
Jim, I glanced at the Otso specs a few days ago and if I recall correctly, it said that the bottom bracket drop is 85mm. That’s quite a bit more drop than I've seen for most new frames (~60mm). Any thoughts? Do you have to be a little more careful about pedal strikes? Maybe the assumed use of big tires compensates for the drop?OTSO definitely stays, that bike is so dope.

I think you need this to go with the orso…I haven't noticed it being lower than my other bikes. My Stumpy basically sits on the ground so I may just be used to it.

I wish we could believe you, but alas... 😝All my parts finally came in (thanks again BWB!) so last night I put a Deity Highside 35 (50mm rise) handlebar, M5100 crankset, Wolftooth 32T elliptical chrainring, and Deity Deftrap pedals. Got done too late for a test ride but the bike looks sharp.

LOL....You'll get your pics.. Patience Grasshopper. It was too late (dark) to snap some decent pics. If there is still light when I get home tonight I snap a few so you'll get your fix..Where’s the bike porn!
😉
Curious to find out how the ride compares to the Evil.Was hoping to complete my tyee build but foiled by a rear brake line that's just to short.
