Here's the Fargo in action. post yours when you get it here...
Funny, the green color on the 2016 I bought was not my first choice. My LBS said they ordered a medium Fargo and I assumed it would be the darker 2015 green. But it was the new X7 and as soon as I saw it I really liked it. LBS said it took several weeks to get the X7 after ordering it. I would hope that will be speeding up soon.Cackalacky a few posts back already has a 2016 X7, so they are available somewhere, at least.
It is nice to have the color you want, but I'm not sure how long I'd wait for it. I bought a 2015 2 model for a considerable discount, although the light blue is probably one of my least favorite colors. The 2016 X9, (I really like the red for 2016) for an additional $700.00, and a 4-week + wait (and they're still not in at my LBS) just didn't make sense.
Funny you should say that...I'd probably just pay the $60 and get the stupid plate.
Thanks for the good wishes. I do like the color of the 2015 Fargo 2, and I'm not necessarily stuck on a 2016 (since there don't seem to be significant changes from the previous year). I guess the issue is that I'm not sure what kind of deal I could hope for on a 2015.
The Fargo 2 starts off $600 more than a Fargo 3/X7, in for my purposes the differences between the two models aren't that great (I'm not sure tubeless would be a big advantage for my riding--all-weather commuting). That said, I love a good deal as much as anyone.
Does anyone have an idea of what a 2015 Fargo 2 deal would look like? My LBS has a Large "floor model." It's certainly been ridden some but wasn't any kind of demo or rental so it's in fine shape.
