I visited my favorite LBS today and they had a Vaya and a Fargo on the
floor! Two bikes I've admired and wondered about for a couple of years. I
really wanted to test ride them but instead, I limited my test rides to the
bikes I'm actually considering purchasing. I dropped off a frame for
Vertically compliant, yet laterally stiff!

Actually, it sounds very interesting and I'd love to try one, but I wonder
if it can handle fenders and loads the way I hope any Fargo replacement I
buy will.

Philip, He doesn't divulge much about his geometry on-line but from what I
can see about his Dirt Bomb , the BB is too high, HTA too shallow and
tubing and fork too stiff. His dirt bomb is more MTB like than my Bantam

Hey All,
In Re Soulcraft, all I can say is that the results for me have been
tremendous. I can't say better than the alternatives because once you have
made a choice you no longer get to choose..so each choice precludes the
other choices and the outcomes associated with those choices. If GP
Soulcraft bikes, and the Dirtbomb in particular, have always been on my
radar. Great to hear your positive experience with ordering as well as your
love of the bike!

Here's one more option you might look at. Patrick. The Dirt Bomb by
Soulcraft.

I have a desire for a similar bike, but without the panniers.
I'd like to have a custom frame to take the parts from the Gravel Roadster

Fisher Utopia frame with a Kona P2 fork. If anyone has a larger frame like

one reason I'd never have Soulcraft build a bike for me. I don't want a
bike that rides like he likes... I want a bike that rides like I like.
His Dirt Bombs max out out at 45 mm tires anyway.. so Patrick is out of
luck. My Bantam is my version, more road bike than Soulcraft's Dirtbomb.
What are the points of divergence between the way you like a bike to ride
and the way Soulcraft likes a bike to ride?
I most like the way my Quickbeam rides, so I'm interested if the ride of a
Soulcraft is somehow very different. I'd go ride one, but I'm not in the
market to buy one, so I
I really don't want to learn whether a Jones Plus could work with a

Oh man Mike those bikes are the bomb! The Mathews I find especially drool
worthy. I want a build like that in the worst way. So disappointed that I

Thanks for all the replies. As I recall one of my nephews, then 4 years
old, saying when I took him to KMart's toy department and said, Choose 1:
So many choices!
I'll read y'all's posts in detail at my leisure. I don't want a touring
bike or fat bike or a Salsa, thanks; I basically want a nice
Atlantis or Hunq. It's that simple.
Or maybe... the new Clem. Though the wheelbase is kinda long.
Before I civilized my Atlantis (with racks, fenders, and pitlocks for the
urban jungle) I rode it free for a while.
Imagine... an Atlantis stripped down, nothing on it except stout wheels
with
Discs, non-stout tube set, mega 29er wheels and rack provisions? Sounds
like you need a straight-up custom, Patrick.
I'm sure there are quite a few builders that could handle this.

Patrick,
The thing about the ride of the Jones Plus on the road is that it really is
like a limousine. . . the extra long wheelbase smooths out everything. Even
though it has a very long wheelbase, the bike still feels very responsive with
the high (76 mm) rake on the fork, and I feel that it
Elephant NFE seems like a great base as well.
