Revelate may make a custom bag for that bike. In which case, neither the large nor medium will work.

Oh cool, thanks for mentioning that. I'll have to see how the ones I have now fit and maybe go for that one instead.

So for anyone still following, I have cancelled the Fargo order and went with a Niner RLT 9 steel 3 star and am loving it.

I ended up keeping the L size bag, and returned the medium. Great fit.

Sorry, I think you still have the wrong bike. Get a carbon Jamis Renegade. The large Ripio fits my 58cm frame perfectly. Check out the Jamis website. It's called an adventure bike for a reason. Been riding it for 3 years and no assplosioning yet.

I have the medium and large size bags still, and will post up how they look on the Cream White color Fargo once I get it after pre order is shipped within 30 days.

I am glad I did not waste time commenting earlier.
