I think I'm priced out of the Vaya. It just seems silly to lock an almost-$1500 bike up outside on a frequent basis. I realize $1400 is only a little more than $1250, but then $1500 is only a little more than $1400 and suddenly I'll start looking at Space Ghosts, etc.

This is also surprising to me because my road bike only cost about $950. I didn't expect that all the touring/cross bikes would be more expensive.
