It's time to let the old girl go. She's been so much fun, but it's time.

For Sale: 2012 Salsa Fargo, size large, custom built with a ton of extras.

If it helps, you can see the entire build and ride thread here: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/66908-ExPo-Build-Project-Salsa-Fargo

Here's the build as she sits right now with a 1x9 drivetrain:

Salsa Fargo Frame/fork, size large.
- DT 530 rims
- SRAM X7 rear hub
- White Industries polished disc front hub (gorgeous hub)
- White Industries Crank, 32t single ring
- White Industries BB, stainless spindle
- BB7 Brakes
- Cane Creek Headset
- Thompson stem (80mm)
- Thompson set-back seat post
- WTB saddle
- Geax tires (brand new), Mezcals 2.2
- Dura Ace bar end shifters, 9spd
- SLX Rear "Shadow" 9spd rear derailleur
- Cane Creek brake levers
- Salsa Woodchipper 2 bars


Extras:

- Singlespeed rear wheel (White Industries Rear ENO Eccentric disc Hub, DT Competition spokes, DT Rim, eccentric brake adapter, Double Double freewheel) Total Cost $450 with freewheel
- Woody's Custom Fenders (Wenge wood and zebra wood with brass and stainless steel fixtures) $150
- Schwalbe Fat Frank commuter tires (85% life left on them) $90
- Double Double chainring to compliment the Double Double freewheel $150


The Nitty Gritty:

At full retail, this bike with all the extras is worth well over $3200 with the extras. That includes the custom fenders, commuter tires, and extremely nice White Industries Double Double drive train for the coolest dual-gear singlespeed set up ever.

As for the condition of the bike, I'd say it is a 9+. It has been immaculately cared for by me, a professional bike mechanic of 24 years. There is not a single scratch on the frame. Not one. The drive components (geared) have less than 900 miles on them. In fact, the chain is 65 miles old. The Double Double drivetrain has less than 300 miles on it. All four tires that it comes with are effectively new.

ASKING PRICE: $1750. Keep in mind, that's a bike with three wheels, two drive train options, four tires, custom fenders and other extras.

PM with questions. I will ship at no extra charge within the lower US.

Thank you.

Dun know what's next. A little bird told me about a new Spearfish on the horizon. The next ExPo project bike will be a Salsa, but I'm not sure what flavor. The Mukluk 2 was a good one. Still loving that one. Honestly, a Titanium Fargo would be a great follow up to this one.

PM's replied to.

There's been a great deal of interest as of late. I'm sorting through the offers. Thanks for your patience.
