FAQ
What size range of rider will this bike fit?
Journeyman 24 is designed to fit riders between 4'7" and 5'2" (140–157 cm)
What size tire will this bike fit?
Journeyman 24 is designed around a 24 x 1.85" tire, but will fit up to a 24 x 2.0" tire.
Do you offer touch-up paint?
No, we do not offer touch up paint. Hobby shops or automotive stores are excellent places to find paint. We suggest you test the paint on a scrap piece of metal before using it on your frame.
I crashed and dented (or cracked) my frame. Is it safe to ride?
Stop riding your frame immediately and take it to the nearest Salsa authorized dealer for inspection. A dented or cracked tube represents a structural weakening of the frame, and is a safety risk.
