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.

At that age, all the wear items have worn multiple times, still having the original wheels is pretty good though. They’re one of the easiest components on a bike to damage.
I had the rim of my rear wheel crack last week, first time I’ve ever had a wheel problem in 20 years/100K miles of riding.
