Yeah, I get it. It isnt for everyone but if I could only have one bike, it would be the Vaya. Ive used it for commuting, group rides, loaded touring and with the 700x42 tires, Ive even done some singletrack. It doesnt excel at anything, but does a decent job at everything.

i put my stem on my bars when my bike was at the framebuilder. i know how the bars are supposed to look LOL. if i remarked that your levers were too low, it's because most hipster kids don't know where to put them.

I hope to one day live in a world where people realize that brake lever placement, like all other things on a bike, is subject to personal preference. \

The fact that you stated that my levers werent in the right place shows that you don't know where levers are supposed to be positioned.

Brake levers are made to be reached comfortably from two hand positions. Comfort is not universal.

My new road bike, picked it up about a month ago, needs a new saddle and another water bottle cage.
