    I've decided that this is what I want.

    http://salsacycles.com/bikes/2014_vaya_3

    But what I want and what I can have are two different things. :grumble: It's about $1500 at my LBS

    The Vaya is a great bike - and it's so versatile, and it will last forever! Might be something worth saving for...

    When I find a bike I really like, I start saving... If you can eek out $100 in savings a month, you could get there in a little over a year. I don't know your situation, but I started bike commuting to work 2-3 times a week last year (April > Nov) and saved a ridiculous amount on gas! (Like $15-20 a week!) And some of that $$$ went to my new bike build...

    Just signed up for my first 50 mile gravel ride...on Saturday. Oh *kitten*. I'll be doing it on my dreaded mtn bike. Hopefully the new Salsa will be mine soon. Decided on the Warbird.

    Can you put drop bars on your mountain bike?

    I talked to my LBS guys and its pretty costly to convert to drops. Besides, just look at this little lovely.

    Yeah, I googled it after I posted. I hadn't thought about the difference in the shifters and brakes and stuff. I was just thinking as a temporary solution to get you through Saturday.

    Buddy of mine has a Warbird, great bike and brand. Back in the day I had a Caballero FS mtb. I think the Warbird's a good mix-up for roads (smooth & rough) and gravel. Sort of like an ATV, but Roubaixish on the skinny.
