New Clyde Steel Bike Alert

I was trolling Nashbar and noticed they sell this now:

FitWell Riley Fahrlander 1 Road Bike



That looks like its basically a Salsa Vaya/Specialized AWOL for $400-500 less.

If you caught that thing on a 20% off day, whew.

With a tire swap, that would make a great steel road bike on the cheap for a big Clyde.

Interesting. They certainly look like even closer rip-offs of the Vaya than even the AWOL is!

Unfortunately they don't have a big enough frame for me. And it's 10-Speed 105...
