We spend extra time and care building, testing and re-boxing your bike before it leaves. This takes approximately 4 business days to prepare the shippment.
This extra step and time allows us to ensure that when your bike arrives to you it will be very easy to assemble for most anyone. Most bikes do not include pedals, so make sure to choose some for your new bike so we can ship them in the same box and you can get our riding quicker!The Salsa Vaya has become a staff favorite because of it's neutral geometry that is relaxed enough for a week long tour, yet still aggressive enough to make that Saturday morning ride with the people from work fun. The Vaya unlike a lot of road bikes doesn''t limit itself to pavement. The larger volume tires and steel frame soak up all the gravel and forest service roads you can throw at it.
The Vaya can be loaded with both front and rear racks. The custom rear dropouts move the rack further back on the bike eliminating the need for a longer wheelbase, which can slow down the handling but still achieve good heel clearance.
Smaller sized (50-52cm) Vaya''s use a 26" wheel while the larger ones use a 700c (54cm ). Salsa uses a smaller wheel to help eliminate toe overlap and still keep the bike handling like the larger ones.
The Vaya 3 features:
- Shimano Deore/Sora drivetrain
- Cane Creek Headset
- Avid BB7 Brakes
- Continental TourRide Tires
