Salsa Vaya, the Resurrection - TvH's touring stuff

Sounds logical but that's not going to get you any more likes on the gram is it

Depends who you want to get your likes from

I'd give that a like :)

I'd report it as inappropriate

Setting unrealistic standards for mudguards?

Sadly, derailleur hanger geometry on this bike is actually correct, so the WiFli mech doesn't clear the 36t anymore. Anyone have either a long cage SRAM mtb rear mech or an 11-32 XT/PG 1070 cassette for sale or swap?

why not use one of those little extenders?

Did think that, and suppose it will solve it in the short term. Forgot they were so cheap.

Would rather appropriate parallelogram angle, ultimately.

The Via treking mechs are cheap and will do 36t

or if you want a clutch

Just found that Via one also, looks perfect tbh

Look upon my perfect fenderlines, ye Mighty, and despair!

Too afraid to show the front huh? Easiest one to mess up, hardest one to get right.

It's truly a thing of beauty, you'll see

@Tijs will see right through your photoshop realignment

The final pazzle piece

It's really rather nice, and very low profile. Excellent chain wrap. Surprised I'd never seen one before.

Couldn't resist. Hope you like grain.

Awesome

Agreed, looks brilliant.

Thanks eh :) It goes without saying I'm extremely jealous of it.

I rode it up to the park to take those pics, and even set up entirely too small for me, it feels absurdly good. Stiff where it counts, and the low trail fork means the handling is really quick. It's a fast, comfy bike. That Ted bloke knows what he's doing.

Also the brakes are monstrously powerful. Shouldn't have worried.

Wow, thats lovely

I promise I'll take proper pics soon

What crank is this?

Middleburn RS7. 42/26 rings on a triple mtb spider, with a filed 46t as a chain guard

Middleburn, I think.
What he said .

What's the shift like with that big jump? I'm tempted to try with a 5 arm triple

Solid looking build. Looks very good!
Did you use compressionless housing with the BB7s? I've always found them very good, even with shitty cable housing.
