Outdoor Demo - Day 1

Good evening folks. Finally back to the hotel tonite and wanted to share a few notes from the day. Sorry this is so short and bullet point like. I'm tired. Very, very tired and I need a good night's rest.

I had lot's of fun today. I got see a lot of old friends and meet some new friends. A few were even Gnat blog readers. All in all a great day. Here is yet another use for a Salsa Fargo - 6 pack holder. While this Fargo was only set up with 2 bottle cages, a fully set up Fargo could easily carry 6 of your favorites cans home.



Gnat blog readers are probably tired of reading and seeing the Salsa Fargo here on my blog, but I'm so smitten with this bike. I promise I'll be moving on from it sometime....Say in about a year or so. Seriously, I am planning some non Fargo material. In fact, it kept me awake this morning when I should have been sleeping.

Other observations from Outdoor Demo Day 1.

- Lot's of 29ers - even a few good ones
- Lot's of carbon fiber
- Lot's of renewed interest in steel
- Lot's of cool paint jobs. I was impressed this year as many brands are doing a better job with graphics.
- Not much blood yet, but tomorrow is the busy demo day and I'm sure someone will lay it down on the rock and come back bloody.

Anyway, I'm pooped. Going to sleep now.

"... even a few good ones."

LOL!

I'm still smitten with the Fargo too, and I've only ridden yours once. Can't wait 'til I have my own. You can just keep talking, my friend.

Hope you got some good sleep...

Cheers,
MG

Keep the Fargo stuff coming. Did you know there was once Chrysler pick-up truck called the Fargo?
