Personally, I'd trade my Fargo right away for a Riv that could do all that I want the Fargo to do (ie, loaded touring and -- with fat wheelset) sandy trail riding with fenders, which means room for 65 mm tires + fenders + mud room) AND that has a road bike like fit, which the Fargo has -- 57 cm effective tt on my M. But the Fargo takes the fat tires with huge clearances to spare and the price was too good to pass up -- sub $1K for frame, parts, wheels, etc etc etc.
I call it my Surrogate Rivendell or SurRiv for short. (Or RivGo. Or FarRiv. Or something.) Patrick Moore, who is riding his FarRiv today, as a matteroffact.
