The Marrakesh is Salsa's world-touring bike, designed for fully loaded, rugged exploration. It also could be the ultimate cruising machine, an overachieving commuter or very capable gravel grinder. Triple-butted chromoly frame and fork. Tons of braze-ons and lots of tire clearance. The Alternator dropout delivers incredible drivetrain versatility. Run singlespeed or geared, QR or thru-axle, freehub or Rohloff. Set the Alternator dropouts all the way forward for a shorter wheelbase that results in quick and nimble handling, or set back for more stability. Lots of upgrades.

Original specs available at https://www.salsacycles.com/bikes/marrakesh_flatbar_deore.
The new ones go for over $2k with a mix of Alivio/Acera kit and no Brooks. They also no longer offer the flatbar geometry. Approximately $3k in this build.
Asking $1795 or best reasonable offer.
Open to full/partial trades for steel-framed bikes of similar value. I have some other options for seat/saddle and pedals if you don't like what's on it. Also willing to remove some peripheral components to lower the price a bit (i.e. seat, pedals, bottle cages, fenders, front rack, grips). I've also removed the Surly Expedition front rack and installed a Salsa Down Under front rack but I still have the Surly rack and can put it back on if you'd rather have that one.
I can make this available in Grand Blanc or Taylor with sufficient notice.
Will ship at buyer’s expense (probably around $250 via Bike Flights) but I’d prefer to sell locally.
