    2010 Salsa Vaya Road Bike

    I hate to do it, but I'm selling my Salsa Vaya. I bought her new in July, 2010 and she only has 100 miles on her---not even broken in yet. MSRP is $1500; I'm asking $1200. It's a wonderful bike but it's one size too large and I just can't get used to the 26" wheels. I am selling her with the Planet Bike full fenders with mud flap ($45), bar end mirror and the Brooks leather bar tape ($60). The rear rack, Brooks saddle, bottle cages and pedals are not included. Buyer pays for packing and shipping. She needs to find a good, loving home.

    Frame: Steel
    Color: Upside Brown
    Size: 52 cm
    Chainring: Shimano 34/50
    Cassette: Shimano CS-HG61, 9-Speed, 11-32
    Shifters: Shimana Tiagra STI
    Brakes: SRAM BB5 Road, 160mm Rotor, 6-Bolt
    Brake Levers: Shimano Tiagra STI

    Here are the stats from the Salsa site. And this is a review of the bike.

    Too big for me, but that's a beautiful bike.

    She's purdy! Their website doesn't do that bike justice.

    I think I'd need a 54 cm though

    It is gorgeous and why it caught my eye in the first place at the bike shop. I bought it even though it was too big and I thought it wouldn't matter for a commuter, trail bike but I was wrong. It does matter and it just doesn't fit me. It's too pretty to not be ridden.

    I remember falling in love with the Fargo last year - but neither the Fargo nor Vaya come very small - though their fit charts appear to say otherwise. I am sorry that it didn't work out for you, she is quite pretty!
