I have been riding around 25 miles a day recently to work and back on my Salsa Fargo amd highly recommend this bike. Its a do anything workhorse. You can run slicks and have a road style bike or low profile knobbies like I run and be ready for any terrain. It's also setup to handle racks and fenders or salsa anything cages. So far I have found I love my Revelate Designs bags the best. Eliminates the need for a rack but still provides ample storage. Good luck!
