I might have a very new Salsa Vaya, size 56cm, with bent forks and a crack in the top tube/head tube weld. I'm getting a crash replacement discount on a new one but don't think Salsa will ask for the old one back...

Not quite ready to give it away though, Was going to research costs to fix it up, might still be worth something once welded/straightened.

Any condition...as long as it's a frame - I'll mail you.

Cheers Ben - I'll look into that (dunno where it is!)

It's for a painting experiment/project - I'd strip one of my own, but both were resprayed at my own cost recently and are in good shape.

And thanks 13FM, that sound like it is way too good!

Well its a 58cm 531c road frame with a wonky seatstay. Its pretty much stripped already. Fair amount of rust.

I can drop it in the shop
