Explore endless gravel paths and scenic touring routes with this pre-owned Salsa Vaya steel bike—perfect for riders seeking durability and versatility on mixed terrain. Built in 2018 with a 52cm frame (suitable for riders 5’2”–5’5”), this machine combines rugged reliability with agile handling, making it ideal for long-distance adventures or weekend gravel grinding.

Engineered for All Conditions
The Salsa Vaya’s triple-butted chromoly steel frame offers smooth compliance over rough roads while maintaining responsive power transfer. Paired with a carbon fork, it absorbs vibrations without sacrificing stiffness—ideal for tackling uneven trails or loaded touring trips. The SRAM Rival 1×11 drivetrain delivers seamless shifting across an 11-42t cassette, giving you the range to conquer steep climbs or maintain speed on open pavement.

– Wheel System: DT Swiss Spline DB wheels wrapped in fresh Teravail Cannonball tires (700x42mm)—ready for gravel or packed dirt
– Comfort & Control: Salsa’s Cowbell handlebar (42cm) paired with a Guide stem ensures ergonomic positioning for all-day rides

Condition & Value
This bike is in excellent shape—nearly like new—with fresh tires and bar tape installed. Components score high across the board (8/10+), except for flawless tires (10/10). Minor scratches on the crankarms are the only notable marks of prior use.

Why Choose This Bike?
Compare it to newer gravel models: this Vaya offers SRAM Rival performance at a fraction of retail cost while prioritizing steel’s timeless comfort over carbon’s harshness. Its compact geometry suits smaller riders seeking agility without sacrificing stability under load (e.g., panniers or cargo).

Fit & Warranty
Salsa’s sizing guidelines suggest this frame suits riders between 5’2”–5’5”, but verify fit before purchase. A 60-day mechanical warranty applies for local buyers—ride confidently knowing critical components are backed up.

Ideal for: Touring enthusiasts, gravel racers on a budget, or commuters seeking off-road capability without sacrificing comfort.
