  • Early Fargo – fork help please

    I stuck my head through the back of a minibus in a crash on my early olive drab Fargo on Friday. The result is a seriously knackered fork.

    As it’s an early frame (mk1?) I’m reading that the V2 fork doesn’t fit – what does? I want all the braze ons etc.

    Help/ideas?

    Is it because the v2 is suss corrected and a bit too high? Otherwise it should fit as it’s not a tapered steerer.

    Straight steerer, 440mm long, 55mm offset. 2.4″ ish tyre clearance.

    Pinnacle Lithium might be close enough, slightly shorter, or Surly for a bit longer

    Thanks – any reco on the Surly? Never looked at them.

    Can’t help much I’m afraid, but with Surly and Salsa being similar brands from the same stable they won’t be far wrong. The ECR seems closest, disc only and braze ons for everything. Triton cycles seems to have a good selection.
