I would have bought the Salsa Vaya but I already had the Schwinn Super Sport DBX which quite similar in that its an all-rounder bike. The only thing I didn't like about it was that it came came with drop handlebars but I was able to replace them with Origin 8 Tiki mustache bars, which gave me the upright riding position I was looking for while keeping the Shimano Tiagra STI shifter/brake levers.
Such a bike with disk brakes isn't a road bike but then it does everything a road bike can't do.
