I'm not a fan of the new Fargos with the suspension correct geo. Long spindly looking fork blades and kinked downtube just kill the aesthetics. The previous models looked great though! For a budget build, I'd rather get a Karate Monkey and build it up w/ V-brakes and drop bars. Coincidentally, I believe I'm gonna' break my Monkey out of jail and go for a chilly Sat. morning ride!
