My husband’s bikepacking dream for 2021 has died before he’s got it off the ground so this lovely Fargo frameset plus extras is for sale. It is a size Small. Work commitments and personal circumstances mean that he’s not going to be able to build this up as planned for a trip or two next year, a situation not helped by the pandemic. He bought this fantastic Fargo frameset from the first owner who had very carefully ridden it and looked after it’s every need. It’s had an easy life as can be seen from the condition of the frame in the photographs with only the lightest of marks to speak of. Also included is the (very expensive) carbon Firestarter fork, an Alternator rack specific to Salsa’s bikes with the attaching rods cut to size to fit the Fargo by the previous owner, a new 80mm Salsa Guide alloy stem and a used Salsa Guide alloy seatpost as well as new set of Alternator dropouts which have been fitted to accommodate the 142mm spacing on the Hunt Trail Wide 27.5 wheelset that is seen in the photos. The normal set up for the dropouts is 148mm. The frameset is designed to take 27.5 x 3″ tyres or 29″ by 2.4 tyres. The only thing not included in the listing is the pair of Hunt Trail Wide wheels. They are available if required – please contact for details. However, please bear in mind that the bike has the non-boost fork and is designed around 27.5+ geometry. Salsa specify not to go lower on the BB than 2.8″ tyres so the 2.4″ ones shown on the Hunt wheels would not be suitable. However, Hunt do say on their website that their 30mm inner rim Trail Wide wheels will accept up to 2.8 tyres. The fork is non-boost unlike the very latest model so this might limit your wheel options which might make the Hunt’s an attractive proposition. They are in very good order apart from marks commensurate with use and a small ding on the rear which does not affect rideability. Any questions, please ask.
