Salsa Ala Carte ( professionally restored)

Professionally restored Salsa Ala Carte (1993?)

I received this bike as a frame and fork and carefully restored it myself. When I received it, the driveside chainstay looked like it took a big impact so it was cut out and replaced with a matching true temper chainstay by Bilenky Cycle Works. I believe it’s a 1993. If any aficionados can help confirm that would be great!

I paint bikes professionally for several bike manufacturers (This is not a rattlecan paintjob). Pitting and dents in the tubes were filled then I sprayed the frame and fork the iconic “jellybean scheme” . I used authentic restoration decals and hand brushed the Rasta accents. If you are an interested buyer, I can share pics of the restoration process.
