Salsa Fargo?

I am not buying an expensive bike soon but are there any owners, thoughts on this bike. I like the sloped frame, but am not interested in 29r wheels. Not a fan of drops bars either. Hate leaning. Last years version was a cheaper. I liked the purplish color more........

Sounds like you hate it?

There is a very, very long running Fargo thread on MTBR

What sort of bike are you looking for? What riding are you planning on doing? What sort of stuff do you want to carry?...

It sounds like a Fargo might not be the right bike for you!

how about you say what you want in a bike, given how you dislike this bike so much but are asking about it.

I like the frame geometry. The notion that I am asking about a bike and hate it is silly.

I have been riding this for a year. Mostly a couple miles in the area. I have road it many miles on the NCR though recently. 20-30 Miles plus usually.
