I did the same thing, I was barely out of my practice parking lots before I was considering the Salsa Fargo - fell in love with it actually. Took some time before I realized that it just will never fit me - it is too big. Then I rebounded to my beloved steel steel steed, Ms. Explorer.

This is indeed a group of enablers, but if they really think you are making a mistake then they speak up My LBS at the time had talked me into getting the LHT frame and having them build it up - but in the end it would have cost me a lot more money than the complete build and with no better components - it comes with pretty good components anyway. Thanks to a few outspoken women here (who I thank from the bottom of my heart), I didn't go that route.

In the end Ms. Explorer was customized anyway - but this was out of physical necessity - which is a very different story.

Good luck on searching for your second bike - it is a LOT of fun
