Salsa Fargo

[Catrin]

I am in love... again. Stella is jealous but I told her that she will always be first bike in my heart and that she can use a playmate

I've been looking at this bike for a month, since someone on this forum posted the link as one of the bikes she has been looking for. I am not planning on purchasing until much later in the year, but the Fargo will certainly fit the riding needs that Stella (Trek 7.6 FX) isn't so suited for. I just hope that the fit will work out, I know it has a different geometry than my Trek.

And....there is a local dealer

I want that bike!!! From the moment our eyes met, I was in love!!!! Maybe one day, but until then, I'll live vicariously through your quest to acquire the Fargo. What a gorgeous bike!!!

Man, that is the bomb. I would grab one in a second if I walked past it. Beautiful.

The info says up to 6 bottle mount locations and the picture shows 5; where would the 6th be?

I think the pump is on the 6th mount.

That makes sense. Duh!

I called the local dealer today and had a good talk with him - if nothing else I had to figure out how much money I will need to save! They do have financing, but it would be nice if I don't go that route. I figure that I need to have at least a couple hundred miles on Stella before I start mixing up my bike geometry

I REALLY don't want to wait though, this bike spoke to me in that very first picture I saw of it a month ago. I've looked at Jamis bikes and a few other steel frame touring bikes (none were 29ers though) but this one just calls my name and wants to keep Stella company

Yeah it does!!!

[Catrin]

Yeah it does!!!

You...enabler you... and what a nice quality it is I also found out that the dealer takes the same finance card that my usual LBS takes. I am going to wait, I am going to wait, I am going to wait

BTW, I really like that I can use both 700 and 29 tires on this bike. The local dealer told me that Salsa is going to release a road bike version of the Fargo soon - I wonder if that is why the price dropped between 2009 & 2010? He didn't say they were REPLACING the Fargo with a road bike version, but simply releasing one.
