More and more cyclists are discovering the joys of off-road bicycle touring and adventure biking. Salsa Cycles have established themselves as a leading supplier of specialist bikes for the job, and the Fargo Ti is their flagship model. My good mate Adam Macbeth is taking this one to Japan for a ten week tour.

This is the second time Adam’s Fargo has been featured on Cycle EXIF, but he’s put a lot of miles on the clock since then. So have I, actually, as Adam was gracious enough to let me use it for an off-road adventure back in June. The reports are true, it is one of the most comfortable tourers available.

One thing Adam Macbeth is, and that’s meticulous. His blog, A Therapy For Pain, details his own love for adventure biking, his selection of equipment and his preparations for an extended tour of Japan. He should be touching down as this goes live, so here’s a special ‘Bon Voyage’ from Cycle EXIF.
