Salsa Fargo

Ok, I seem vocal today

The Fargo has bar end shifters. Stella, my Trek, has trigger shifters that are right next to my brakes so all I have to do is to move my finger. To move from the brakes to the shifters on the Fargo I would have to move my whole ARM. Has anyone had problems with the distance between brakes and shifter levers with this kind of set-up?

You won't find the Fargo on their site, but of course they do have at least one It is indeed one kick a$$ bike! I start saving NOW

The LBS guy told me that it can go on single-track as well, which I had assumed given the description. I don't know that I will choose to do that, but it is good to know!

Please do it! I need to hear more about your experience on it. Everyone I know that rides a Fargo are guys over 6 foot.

Nope.

I've got bar ends on my Surly, brifters (Campy) on my Waterford, downtubes on my Giant, and triggers on my Kona.

No problem. I actually like the bar ends more than the brifters and downtubes. They are on par with the triggers as far as my happiness is concerned.
