I like the component changes Salsa's made to the 2013 Vaya 2s. They've changed pretty much everything I changed on my '12, with the exception of the cranks (which I changed, as well) and the wheels (which, so far, I've left stock.) Having had a chance now to ride several Fargos and an LHT, I'm glad I ended up with a Vaya. It's been a better fit for the short tours and long gravel grinders I like doing.
