Salsa Vaya, the Resurrection - TvH's touring stuff

I have some very lightly used Spesh Roubaix bartape in black, you can have for a fiver and postage.

I have already ordered Gravel King SKs

Ohhh I just ordered some too.

Feel validated.

Ta Jack.

@platypus I am interested in these if @TomvanHalen is not.

We can compare notes!

Haha, nah, don't worry, I already have a couple of cheapies to test, but thanks!

Oh god why are these not 650b 50-60mm :( Maybe I should change wheels...

@Hulsroy @TomvanHalen yeah sure, let me know. no rush. not sure how to price them, they seem to be £130 new, but out of stock almost everywhere, mine have been used a little bit, so i'll see what price seems reasonable.

£130 new

Wot?

Yeah, I will see if I can get something cheaper.

Crafted. Crafted.

V. good post. Enjoying this thread and the gentle trolling. I'm really holding out for that paintjob!

yeah RRP is a bit bonkers. but if you saw them you'd see why. got them in a weird trade deal.

FTFY

The august bicycles workshop is my new favourite place. Gav has some seriously good stuff hoarded.

Anyway, project rack is a go! Had a thought and drew some shit onto the CAD and it got the nod. Plan is for a porteur-style rack that bolts to the midblade and crown, with internal dynamo routing and mount and threaded bosses to bolt that Wald right on, with additional Tara-esque rails that bolt to additional (bottle-spaced, natch) bosses and the dropout eyelets, bracing across the strut for the rack, so they can be popped on with ease for touring.

Other than that, I think I actually have everything except the mudguards. And the gas-pipe stem. Ugh, money.

Draws light beams; ignores forum requisite poo.

Gah, I always forget the poo

Mmm... brazey

Brought the Wald and a pannier over to aid in the rack design. Mudguards should be arriving soon. Think I actually have everything now, pretty much. Well excite.

Mocked up with Horizons.

what are those two wide spaced mounts under the logo on the DT for?

They're going to take the three PMW triple bolt-on cable guides :) Will have a standoff spacer on the higher bottle boss to put a bottle cage on if necessary

Kind of tempted to cut the Salsa logos out of the dropouts. They're a bit clumsy

I imagine they're a little bit structural?

Difficult to say. They're otherwise quite beefy items. Logos barely touch the back side of the dropout

oh cool! thought for a moment it was for the world's biggest bottle cage or something
