I have to confess that I can't warm up to the double top tube on the Bombadil. I have a Hilsen and it's a lovely, comfortable bike, but I want something that I can do some trail and mountain biking on. I have been seriously considering the Fargo. It's not a surprise to me that Rivish folks wouldn't find the design appealing, but I see the Fargo as a very Rivish spin on the all rounder mountain bike. The Fargo has been ridden to completion on the Great Divide race and on tour cross country. I am curious to try out mechanical disc brakes, which from my limited understanding are pretty robust. Salsa is also coming out with some off road oriented drop bars, called Woodchippers, which also are Rivish in their concept and design. No design is really perfect for everyone, but I think that the Fargo takes a utilitarian approach to the mountain/touring/road bike from a slightly different point of view. As my accountant says, there's no accounting for taste.
