The Salsa Journeyer GRX 700c is stunning looking in white and it certainly stands out in a segment seemingly dominated by dark-colored bikes.
When I first unboxed the bike, I questioned the logic of painting such an adventurous-looking machine in a color sure to show the mud, dirt, and grime that accompany gravel rides. However, after hundreds of hard miles filled with every type of dirt imaginable and a spill (or two) on some slick singletrack, the bike still looks fantastic. While the white paint has encouraged a more robust than normal cleaning regimen, it has held up far better than expected.
