Sarah's Salsa Vaya

I feel inspired when I see fellow commuters show up to work. I feel even more inspired when they invest in their commute. Sarah, a coworker of mine, just recently made one of the wisest purchases she's ever made: she bought a shiny new Salsa Vaya (upgrading her saddle to a Brooks will be her next wise move). I asked her if I could share some photos of it, so here it is in (some of) all its beauty:



Those who have used the SRAM double tap technology for the integrated shifter probably agree that they love it--and that it's pretty cool! The X9 rear derailleur is bomb-proof and the anodized blue Salsa hubs/skewers/seatpost clamp pop nicely off the cream-colored frame. Thanks to the lovely people at the Bicycle Business, she was able to hook up an even better bike than I originally suggested...actually, I couldn't make up my mind for her, so I suggested like a couple dozen things--none of which compared as well with this sucker. Good choice, Sarah.
