2021 Salsa Fargo Gets “Green” Paint and Minor Revisions

Salsa just released its 2021 steel bike lineup. This includes Fargo, the original steel drop-bar 29er mountain bike. The Fargo is built for mixed-surface rides with a triple-butted steel frame, carbon fork, Boost spacing, and clearance for 29 x 3.0″ tires. The 2021 Salsa Fargo frame hasn’t changed. It still has the ability to run 27.5+ or 29+ wheels and tires via the rotating, singlespeed and Rohloff-fiendly Alternator dropouts. But they changed the color and made a couple minor build kit tweaks. Find the details below…
