Glad you like it so far. Would like to see photos, if you wouldn't mind. Part of this whole discussion is going to be made moot, as the Fargo is undergoing a change that some will find significant. Although I'm not positive on all the details, it will supposedly be less a touring bike.
As to the argument the Fargo is more modern, the mountain bikes I rode in the early-mid 1980's had very similar angles and lengths. The Fargo probably is my most comfy bike. Although did two rides totalling 120 miles on my Hillborne this weekend (mandatory Riv content). Far as I can tell, the Fargo takes wider tires than either the Bombadil or the Hunqapiller.
