    Description

    Salsa Vaya, 57cm. Started off as 700c, I built it up from a NOS frameset a couple of years ago, recently stripped it down and powdercoated it the dark blue. All frame interfaces were properly faced after coating. The accent light blue was sprayed on, though is not adhering as well as I'd like. Color matched the Paul Boxcar stem and the rack(rack is kinda old-school, branded "Jim Blackburn"....)
    The wheels are DT 350s laced with double butted DT spokes to WTB Asym 650b rims; I hand built them. Rear hub has the 54t star ratchet upgrade, a 7 kit. Panaracer Gravelking SKs, set up tubeless.
    Ultegra R8000 shifters, FD and RD, XT 11-40 cassette. 110BCD Ultegra-level cranks.
    TRP Spyre brakes with compressionless housing, clamping Hope rotors. Paul interruptors.
    Salsa Woodchipper bar, ESI tape. Whiskey carbon seatpost, Brooks Cambium C19 seat.
    I am the lead mechanic at a local shop, this is put together professionally.
    I just did a little tallying on Q, the parts to build this would cost you 65+tax, the frame was another 0 as a NOS find.
    Get it for the price of the parts...
