Salsa Fargo Steel Frameset Description:

The Salsa Fargo Steel Frameset is a sturdy and versatile steel drop-bar mountain option, designed with approachable, yet agile geometry and oodles of cargo options. The heart of this remarkable machine is a sturdy and smooth-riding triple-butted chromoly frameset with adjustable Alternator 1.0 Flat Mount dropouts that allow the wheelbase to be tweaked to optimize the handling and ride quality to suit a rider’s needs and preferences. Ample tire clearance enables widths up 3.0″ on 29″ wheels, or mount fenders and retain the ability to run tires up to 2.2″ in width for the ultimate mixture of off-road capability and coverage. Up front, a Firestarter 110 High Modulus Carbon Fiber fork adds stiffness, resulting in better control of the bike while also reducing vibrations transmitted up from the road/trail, and the sides of the fork are adorned with various mounts for cargo and other accessories. Users looking to bring every trail essential need not worry, as Fargo Steel framesets provide a multitude of frame mounting options for bottle cages, direct mount bags, and more. When used in combination with cargo racks, Fargo Steel Framesets transform into a formidable commuter or the ultimate world-touring rig.
