Some people have asked for more pictures of the Vaya, I know the pictures are not the best quality, they were taken from my phone and I don't have the best light in the garage.
I have been riding this bike since last fall. Most of my rides have been commuting on the road and on the single track of the MN river bottoms. On the river bottoms this bike is a lot of fun. The lower BB makes for a really stable ride while the tall headtube makes riding off-road in the drops very comfortable. The only negative of this set up is the lack of clearance when go over log piles with the 52t chainring.
