I bought an old brown steel Salsa Fargo frame for cheap on a whim to build up with other parts I had lying around. The fork I thought would work did not, so I bought an old brown steel Surly fork for cheap. 1x10 mountain drive train, Jones H-bar, rack, fenders, and 50mm semi-slick tires. It is great for riding around the neighborhood. It is great for gravel, dirt paths, and fire roads. It is great for grocery shopping. It is fun once in a while on mild mountain bike trails.
I have a nice mountain bike that I have the most emotional attachment to. If I could only have one bike, I think I would have to pick my Brompton. But somehow this became the bike I ride the most.
