SKS Longboard M/guards fitted.
2 blue Elite Canabal resin bottle cages to match.
The Vaya for those in the know needs no introduction,but if you don't it's an all-road gravel or tarmac touring and all day bike of the highest quality,this one has seen less than 2k miles.
I built it up from a new frameset with loving care,it is A1 in all respects,no scratches,dings or marks,it is almost as new,in fact better than a new one as the spec is waayyy above a stock Vaya from Salsa.
A sad parting of a beautiful machine which rides equally a beautiful as it looks and has all the brazeons for front and rear racks,failing health forces sale.
Asking £800 ONO including STI's if required
I live not far from Warrington,5 minutes from J23 M6,I'm willing to meet up within say approx 30 mile radius.

It's the right size for me, and a lovely bike, but I already have five...

I did just want to say good luck with the sale, sincerely, because I read that tale this afternoon, and frankly I'd have gone round and chewed the fella's ears off; what he's tried on is appalling, frankly.
