I've always liked the color of the first gen Fargos.

When I talked to Joe Bell I told him I wanted the green of the 7-11 team bikes. Very happy with the color and the bike.

Interestingly, with all the bikes over the years that I've owned, I think the only one that was green was a Gary Fisher Aquila. And I really like green bikes, from Serotta's Cha-ching Green to Hampsten's pistachio green. Here is an older thread of green bikes:

Heh....mine is the green that Hampsten uses when they paint a Huffy 7-Eleven. I'm not sure if it's the same that they use on the Merckx ones though I suspect that's the case.

This had a real nice ride, but currently decommissioned as it has several paint issues that need some macro touch up.
