Good morning, Bought this wonderful Salsa Journeyman from a coworker of mine, was setup with Dt swiss GR 1600 wheels, WTB 50mm ventures, Sram Apex 1x. Already added a PNW suspension dropper, and Made a custom frame bag. Have already done 50miles of commuting ( on and off road). And its Doggo approved ☺️.

I'll say from several years working on bikes, each brands higher end hybrids are great, and I would take the FX4 disc or Specialized Sirrus any day. I also really like the 'adventure' bike segment with bikes like the Salsa Journeyman Sora.

34 and about 240. I originally intended on getting a checkpoint but ended up with a salsa journeyman instead. If you didn’t have experience on a drop bar bike, I’d encourage you to go in to a few shops and try out several. Like I said I was planning on getting a checkpoint but it just didn’t fit nicely, but the salsa ended up being fantastic.

I used to live somewhere much warmer, but really wet in the winter. I commuted on the same cyclocross bike and the key was having really good fenders/mudguards and waterproof clothing. Whatever you ride, I would recommend a relatively inexpensive, 'beater' bike, as the winter conditions can really do a number on components (especially if road salt is used). I think my next commuter will be something like a Salsa Journeyman Sora.

Ive got a new to me 2019 Salsa Journeyman Sora. I took it for a short ride today and a bit into the ride my bike chain broke taking off from a standstill. Thankfully i was only .5 miles form a bike shop so i stopped by and they put in a new quick link. I asked them if it was fine to ride and they said it should be fine and measured it to check the wear.

* Local bike shop brands... You'll need to purchase these from a local shop that will assemble and tune the bike for you. That adds a bit of a premium to the bike cost, but might be well worth it to you. Specialized Sirrus X 2.0 or 3.0, Trek FX Disk 3 or 4, Giant Roam Disk 2, Salsa Journeyman (Flatbar or Dropbar).
