Adventurer! The Salsa Fargo is a drop-bar, off-road adventure bike. It has developed a cult status as an off-road touring & bikepacking machine & fuels Salsa’s passion for long days in the saddle in distant lands. The Fargo receives Alternator dropouts & the Firestarter carbon fork, making this an even more capable & versatile bike. Its effective toptube length is shorter than modern 'long toptube, short stem' frames. This means that you can run dropbars like Salsa’s Woodchipper handlebar. A shorter toptube allows a longer headtube for stiffness & strength. Run geared, singlespeed, thru-axle, or Rohloff setups if you choose the right Alternator swing plates (Note: available in a replacement kit, which is not included in the package). Use bikepacking bags or add racks & panniers for a longer trip. The Fargo is designed to take you wherever it is you wish to go, be it the Camino de Santiago route from France to Spain, or an extended exploration of Patagonia.
