I divested myself of all my roadie stuff and all I have are mtb rims, which I wouldn't put that narrow of a tire on. I just do not feel that is a wise thing to do. That said, I will certainly try something in the 38mm range and let folks know about that when the weather warms up here. ;) Darren: Hey, I bet it would ride great, but I doubt I’ll get anything that skinny for it.

I do not have a time line on when they will become available, but stay tuned, if I do hear anythng, I'll post it up here. dan: Late Update: It now looks as though Salsa is bringing in both offsets of the Fargo fork for aftermarket sales.

Salsa does not sell this particular fork aftermarket. The fork's axle to crown measurement is 444.3mm. The offset on small to Large sizes is 55mm. The XL and XXL get 50mm offsets (See this link for the whole geometry story: http://www.salsacycles.com/fargo09.html ) You could see if you could get a Blackbuck rigid fork ( www.osbikes.com ) which has a simlar axle to crown at 440mm and 51mm offset. It is a curved blade fork and has no provisions for bottles, fenders, or racks, however. Otherwise, your only alternative is custom. dan: Sorry about the late reply!
