*I* thought the Vaya was a bit sluggish, but I think it was just the tires.
There's a 54 cm Casseroll on eBay right now with a Buy it Now price of $800. I would be all over that if it wasn't just a bit too big (I am still kinda debating it, in fact - I am 162 cm tall, just 3 cm shy of the recommended height). That's $300-400 cheaper than the one I rode a week or two ago in Seattle.
