Salsa Fargo 2019

This bike is okay, but it has too much standover for me. Extra small bikes are always made for people with short legs and long arms, but I have short arms and long legs. In theory, I could run a dropper, but the rack's in the way. So I guess I resent the amount of framebag space I don't have on this bike.

how do you like this as kind of a hard-tail lite? I've toyed with the idea of either throwing the Grit fork on my flaanimal or someday buying the Seigla and running it flat bar.

I've never had a bike with a 'normal' suspension fork so hard to say, it's....fine? I do like the forks, though I would struggle to justify paying full price for one, I am the third owner of this particular bit of kit, would probably just have ended up with nice big tyres otherwise
