Congratulations!
You can take the bike out in the rain, you know. It won't melt. I promise! All my steel bikes have been ridden in the rain (for years and years) and they are fine.

Kinda hard to ride in the rain while it's dark
I just didn't get home in time to ride. Tomorrow for sure.

I think it can take riding in different areas, different parts of town. For example, I bought. Lovely hybrid and I fell in love with riding. I loved that bike. It was aluminum with flat bars so long rides more than say 10 miles were a little uncomrpfortable because I had only one hand position. I then bought a steel cross bike that gives me more hand positions. I have ridden in town and I have ridden out on country roads, longer distances, and I've come to realize that I prefer urban rides. I'm just not into riding out in the countryside for miles and miles. So...I have fenders, a great bell, lights, a Carradice classic saddlebag and a Brooks saddle. It's not a race bike...it's customized for what I like-quirky like me.

Congratulations on your new Fargo! Those bikes just rock. I wanted one in the worst way last year before I finally accepted that they just don't make them small enough for me and I wound up with a Surly Long Haul Trucker.
I would go with whatever bike shop gives you the best service and you are more comfortable dealing with. No harm in having more than on LBS
