No, not an Orange Five..
But a Salsa Vaya.
Picked up this evening from Tim @Sideways.
Needs a few tweaks, but the initial leg over test™ proves with a few changes, it'll be awesome.

Proper pics to follow..
Needs more suspension 😮
and less gears
Still damn nice though
Rug & floor nice
Is that picture on the wall straight?
Nice mate!
Wot no dropper post?
I like the look of those Vayas. Nowt to hate about touring bikes.
ace, want, agree with moonter. 8)
I loves it - apart from the saddle and the excessive bottlecageness

Regal saddles might be the world's most comfortable secret. Three bottle would be a minimum requirement for an extended tour somewhere hot.
hah saw that on his FB page today.
I've gone ott on the bottles, I know.. Just wanted to see what it looked like.
One will be getting removed.. 😳
Needs gold rims, they're the future.
Interesting, the bars look HUGE and the forks tiny.
I like the floorboards.

Gotta say, apart from creaking like a bastard, yours do look ace!! 🙂
Cheers, hope to fix that this week needs a good service.
My browser hasn't loaded the photos but I'm going to dive straight in and say that there's something wrong with your home/garden that should be fixed immediately, certainly before you entertain the idea of riding your new bike.
Oh and there is a really specific aesthetic detail of your bike that offends me greatly. I command you to change it to suit my tastes NOW.
I think it's awesome

Fair one.. Just for you fella, the pic from the shop, so you can complain about Tim's place. 😆

Thanks.
You might want to extinguish that carpet fire, and for god's sake replace that hideous bottom bracket.
Nice, Nick. I'm still thinking...
I like it, lose the bottle cages and fit [url= http://www.charliethebikemonger.com/vincero-edge16-bottle-mount-2568-p.asp ]Vincero bottle mounts[/url], fit mudguards and an inline seatpost/Fizik Gobi saddle and i'll take it off your hands and give it a good home, can't say fairer than that - email address in profile.
😉
Very nice, I was thinking about getting a frame and swapping everything over from my dew drop, just because its steel 😆

Want that one ^ (in a little britain style voiceover)
Not seen nor heard of a Vaya before, but i want one now, with mudguards, and a rack, maybe a bell as well and a handlebar bag......i may as well join the ctc now, my credibility has been destroyed by that outburst.

Do it, the frame and forks are a bargin at £330 at the minute...
Just ordered one of these on Friday in the same colour from CTBM... Nice to see I'm not alone
Excellent bikes, but you home disappoints , I am struggling to criticise it.
Really like the look of that, Teetosugars.

Happy belated birthday BTW.. :mleh:
Nice looking bike...
And I must say any bike would look awesome when photographed in the fires of Hades....
Thanks for posting the spec and those extra pics. I'm definitely fighting a losing battle as I try (not that hard) to resist ordering something similar.
S****s @ Steve Austin
You're ordering spd sandals too right?
The veya is the bike I've been oogling and googling over the past 6 weeks or so. Still haven't bought one :O/
Some nasty stains on that rug. Nice bike though 🙂
Looking good. Touring bikes are ace 😀
Edit: removed my post. Don't want to spoil anyone's day!

Spoil away...
55mm SKS mudguards and a Tubus rack next Nick 😉
You know it Steve!
Oh, that and some Woodchippers... 😆
take a look at the cow bells first, not as flared as the woodchipers, standard on the full Vaya
