That Vaya looks neat on the page, especially with the double eyelets on the dropouts and the rear caliper bracket inside the triangle. My LBS has been talking up the Jamis Aurora Elite, but this looks like a good alternative (also because I'd end up swapping the fenders and rack of the Jamis anyway, plus the Vaya has a better crank already).
