Frannie is a 2019 Salsa Vaya.

Steel frame with a Shimano 105 drivetrain. We roll tubeless. She typically hauls between 20 and 40 pounds of gear depending on the season. I used to ride carbon, but once I hit my 40s every ride started to hurt a little more, so I moved to steel. Unloaded, the frame weighs about 19 lbs, but it handles smooth as silk.

I would spend 8 hours a day on this thing if I didn’t have a job.

      Best investment you can make if you’re a frequent rider, hands down. Makes bike shorts and chamois pointless, you can ride in anything. I’ve had that saddle longer than I’ve had the bike, there’s probably 10,000 buttmiles on it.
