Fargo for a grand?

(Hope that picture works)
I think it's nicer than a Fargo, the fork is gorgeous!

I hope they've ordered more of those than they did the Longitude, I think it'll be popular.

No anything cage mounts? Wonder how tight the clearances are, from that pic they look tight with fairly small tyres.

Got a feeling that they've ditched the fork pictured above for a straight blade unicrown effort. Will try and dig out where I read that but would assume this now means anything cage mounts as well as the 3 bottle cages in/under frame...

One good thing is that I can see what 10spd bar end shifters it has that work with Shimano MTB kit.

Is upset ... I thought the curved forks made the bike.

I think it was supposed to be double-crown too...

There was talk of a lugged, curved fork for the Croix* range, not sure if that will materialise, kind of hope so.

Spec for the Vagabond is apparently:

Frame : Genesis Mjölnir Seamless Double-Butted Chromoly
Fork : Straight Blade Unicrown Cr-Mo Disc
Headset : FSA Orbit DL / No.1
Shifters : Microshift BS-M10 Bar-end
Rear derailleur : Shimano Deore RD-M615-SGS
Front derailleur : Shimano Deore FD-M616
Chainset : Shimano Deore FC-M615, 40/28T
Bottom Bracket : Shimano SM-BB52, 68mm
Chain : KMC X10
Cassette / Freewheel : Shimano CS-HG50-10, 11-36T, 10sp
Rims : Alex Rims Volar 2.1 Tubeless-Ready (TCS), 32H
Hubs : Formula DC-20LW / Joytech RCC 6-Bolt, 32H
Spokes : 14G Stainless Silver DB (2.0-1.8-2.0) w/ Brass Nipples
Tyres : WTB Nano Race, 60TPI Folding Bead, 29x2.1"
Brakes : TRP Spyre-C w/ 160mm Rotors & Jagwire KEB-SL Compression-less Outer
Brake Levers : Promax BL-253
Handlebars : Genesis RandoX Flared (D125 x R70mm)
Grips / Tape : Genesis Cork Gel
Stem : Genesis Road, +/-7°
Saddle : Genesis MTB
Seatpost : Genesis Road, Ø27.2 x 400mm
Pedals : N/A

RandoX bars sound interesting, hopefully more of a Cowbell flare than the Woodchipper...

I would far rather have the pretty fork with the added flex of the bend than a cork with anything cage mounts, which I don't use, maybe I would if I had them?

Hope the change the head angle if they put straights on. Otherwise it's going to handle like a dog.

*strokes his Ti Fargo*

Don't worry pretty, you're still the best.

If the fork is straight, I can only hope one of these http://www.carboncycles.cc/?s=0&t=2&c=7 ... tb=001#top would be the right dimensions with enough clearance.
