Very good. I was thinking I may have to switch out the stem to get a better fit..which is the case quite a bit with me and bikes.It looks as though Salsa's fit guide is fairly accurate though based on your info. You both are in or close to the range of height for a med frame according to them.Thanks!

Ok great. That makes me feel more confident buying a bike online without being able to ride it. Really appreciate the input! Thanks.

Dave

Ok great! Thank you

Thanks very much..your input helps a bunch. Have you ever used a rear rack and panniers on it?

Input needed !
BIKE...
I'm considering buying a 2013 Salsa Fargo 2 from Universal Cycles. They are currently marked down to $1441.00. I want to ride the Divide Trail and other similar trails and some single track. I'm 5'10" and in a road frame always ride a 55cm. I'm thinking a med size will work. Salsa s fit recommendation also says med for me. Will the stock bike setup, wheels for example hold up?

GEAR

For the divide I'm thinking of a rear rack with Ortlieb front roller classic panniers with revelate designs stuff mixed in. I already own a Viscatcha & sweet roll although not sure if the sweet roll will work with the woodchippers. May put a front rack on and use a medium stuff sack. Would appreciate any input/ advice or experience with this.

Thanks, Dave

Hi,

Please let me know if you still have both items for sale.

Thanks, Dave

CCB,

Thanks for the info.

I'm new to the gear involved with Bikepacking. Jeremy, I'm very impressed with the Bags you design! Thinking of setting up my Salsa Spearfish with bags including the everything bag. I have a Rock Shock Recon fork. Where can I get the correct P clamps? Any specific ones? Jeremy, I'm willing to wait if you have something else in mind for a Shock fork.

Glenn,

Was wondering age and condition of the Bivy. If still available maybe email a picture?

Thanks, Dave
