This Build was for a customer who had broken his litespeed suspension frame and was no longer under warranty nor was that frame being made anymore. To prevent that fron happening again we explained that Ventana's are built stout and light...and have been building great frames for many years.
The craftsmanship and finish are second to none. We even had 2 Titus frames hanging up tht would fit him. But our goal was durable, efficient, and light...The El Saltamontes is that bike.

We did use many old parts at the request of the customer and replaced bearings in the Headset and Bottom Bracket. But the rest of the bike was mainly swapping parts.
