Here's the Fargo in action. post yours when you get it here...
Congrats.......post up some pics when you can.well, my search is finally over. After far too much hand-wringing and agonizing and multiple test rides, I'm going with that new 2012 Salsa Fargo 3 my LBS found hiding in a box. I'm getting BB7s from a fine upstanding gentleman of this forum, I'm going to upgrade the front rotor to 180mm, and I'm going to have them install the Jagwire Cable Kit and Shimano Sora in place of those wretched bar end shifters.
total cost - $1255.18 + tax
very pleased.
thanks to everyone who patiently answered my questions.
bosun120, I did a ton of researching and test riding of the Ogre and the Fargo, and the local Surly shop owner has an Ogre set up almost exactly as you have it, except he's a major proponent of the Schwalbe Big Apples
