Hey guys…That isn’t the titanium Vaya, just the steel in charcoal. Originally I heard that the orange comes as a complete and the frame comes as charcoal. I am not sure if that it true or not. I just know there seems to be less of the charcoal running around. Then again it could be because the orange is an AWESOME color for an "adventure" bike! Funny that I was really disappointed as I wanted the orange, but wanted to buy just the frame and the only color I could get ni a 56cm was charcoal. When I saw the charcoal in person, I was really blown away by the paint. Pics do not do it justice. I MUCH prefer the charcoal after seeing both in person (but I would take ANY of the Vaya colors!)
I have since added 700X37c All Terrain tires and a Selle SMP saddle. The Brooks is killer looking, but I prefer the SMP. I ride this bike a lot, so function before looks.
