Bike +1 : Salsa Vaya

Well, my old mountain bike has been collecting dust in the garage for a long time now, so it's been consigned to Craigslist.

So I've been looking for a bike which I can use as a bit of a hack, mudguards, racks, ride in the rain, etc, and use when James is over here in the US.

The Salsa Vaya seems to fit the bill and I hope to take delivery of one shortly.

Meanwhile, my favourite Giant OCR C2 is due for its start the year service. I suspect the sealant in the tubeless tyres is the main thing to be checked ... It's tough to think of today - snow/blizzards/etc - but roll on spring.

More to follow ...

Kudos to Craig's List ... SOLD

In the end, Craig's List turned up trumps ... eBay? Wassat?

I hope the new owner of my old Trek will be very happy ... he should ... it's a good bike.

So ... farewell then, Trek 1200

You know? I love this bike ... but time moves on and I had the opportunity to get a new bike.

However, this is a good bike. One of the best I have owned. Of course, the frame and forks are way better than the components. Overall though, it wasn't a bad mix.

Anyway, today, I bought a replacement. More on that later.

But for now ... it's farewell to my old Trek 1200.

Like I said. Time moves on.
