I agree because the frame is not
that-bad. From my experience with Bontrager parts, they are mediocre, at best. Even if you didn't immediately toss the components my guess is you'd want to after awhile, especially before heading out an epic round-the-world adventure
One more positive for the Fargo, besides the steel, is it's ability to take much bigger tire widths. The 920 seems limited, by modern standards.
