The Casseroll is not the bike you are going to see in the tour, the Casseroll isn't wind tunnel tested,  the Casseroll does not use the latest carbon technology, so what does the Casseroll have to offer? The Casseroll is a road bike designed for real people. Real people ride on roads that aren't velodrome smooth, real people can't take the day off because of rain so there is room for fenders, real people would rather take in the view on a Sunday ride and not just the wheel of the guy in front of you so the Casseroll sits you up a little higher. Real people need to carry sh*t so they included a front rack and mounts for a rear.

The Casseroll uses Salsa's Discover geometry which gives the bike a relaxed but not sluggish fit. The Casseroll is a great bike for use on long supported tours, where gear hauling isn't needed such as the Ragbrai.

The Casseroll can fit up to 38c tires with clearance for mud, so if dirt roads are on your route, there is no need for a detour. The added clearance along with cantilever brakes makes the Casseroll super fender friendly.

The included matching front rack is perfect for a camera bag to capture the memories of a great ride or dinner on your way home.

The drop-outs on the Casseroll are classic semi-horizontal so the frame can be setup as internally geared, singlespeed or fixed if derailleurs aren't your thing.

There are a few things to keep in mind when building a Casseroll that may be different from other bikes that you may have built in the past.

• The Head Tube on the Casseroll is 34mm, and uses a standard 1-1/8" headset such as a Chris King No Threadset or Cane Creek 40 Series.
• The semi-horizontal drop-outs are spaced at 130mm. The Casseroll will work with geared quick release or bolt on single speed hubs.
