Snagged one of the last 2016 Vaya Ti's available from QBP and changed some things about it. Converted to 1x, added single speed TRP levers and a Paul thumbie with an 80s Shimano 600 downtube shifter to pull the X0 derailleur. New Cane Creek 110 upper for the headset. Swapped saddle for a Flite, and the Knards for puffy Soma Supple Vitesse 42s.
I might switch to a 90mm Paul stem to give me a couple more cm extension.

It's a SRAM RD, so I wouldn't be able to run an indexed Shimano shifter.

Yeah it'd be a rd swap. Cool frame though, I like it.

Ha, its just moving the shifter until you pedal at a frequency and speed you like. The tighter spacing of 10 and 11 speeds can sometimes make it tough to get chain chatter to stop, but thats really just relative to how easy it is on 6, 7, and 8 speed drivetrains to shift quickly and quietly.
I changed my 2x11 shifting to friction rear(its always friction front) a couple weeks ago as the rear derailleur wasnt being as precise as i wanted mid-ride. Simple to then shift for the rest of my ride and i shifted as much as as easily as when its indexed. Ill add though- my standards are low as compared to many others.

You need to get Gevenvalle shifters.

If you end up wanting to go the Gevenalle route(i have em, love em) then Universal has them in stock.
https://www.universalcycles.com/shop...s.php?id=78090
And you get free shipping as well as 10% off if you spend $150 and use 1921LScieur10 as a discount code.
So the 1x10 set would be $135 total.

Updated the Crockett a few weeks back with a 1x11 setup. Wolftooth 36t w/bolts and Gevenvalle shifter/brake. Really digging this setup so far

This is my Soma Wolverine it's missing the rear brake in this pic but it is on there now. I also have replaced the charge saddle with a Selle Anatomica X saddle.

It's an Ibera Pakrak bag and rack. This is their biggest trunk bag with integrated panniers. Love them for commuting. Usually don't ride with it on the weekend but had to pick up some things at the store.
