Seeing as only Brant's bikes are allowed here when we talk about VFM, may I ask for a fatbike please? I'm sure there's be a fair few here that'd buy one.
For Christmas 2011 please!

Asked already and unlikely to happen this year for various reasons. That was early January so who knows ?

I'd love a fat version of the Scandal. When I ran it with a fat front it was great.
I even toyed with the idea of doing a chop job on it, but bought a Pug instead.

Brant getting rad on Jonclimber's mukluk.Posted 1 year ago # -
didn't the guy from Genesis say they had plans for a fat bike last time this topic came up?
Posted 1 year ago # -
was there a loud BOING!!! followed by Brant being launched into the nearest tree after that pic?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Jonclimber already did that coming up short on a step down-concussion and broken ribs iirc.

What would you have Brant offer in a frame that you can't already buy from the number of other fat bike frame manufacturers ??

With short chainstays please.
I imagine brants would be cheaper than a mukluk
Posted 1 year ago # -
Frames are generally not the expense.. its the wide rims.. rear hubs (if not offset frame)... Tyres etc..
Think the Mukluk represents very good value for money.

what about a ragley 29er (other than the TD1) ?
Posted 1 year ago # -
I see the latest niche bandwagon is gathering pace - singlespeed just isn't niche enough any more is it.
Posted 1 year ago # -
@grum, as soon as Brant says yey I'll be asking for a singlespeed fat 29er, watch this space
Posted 1 year ago # -
Yeah I can't really see this being a viable product for a UK bike manufacturer.

Good site to cost out a potential build...

I know of 1 fatbike on the market (mostly due to ignorance of such things) - isn't that more than enough already??
Posted 1 year ago # -
@paul78, how about STW members-only frameset? The additional condition being you are NOT allowed to sell without a written agreement from Brant
Posted 1 year ago # -
i dread to think what the "funny handshake" would entail if you met another rider on a STW only bike out on the trails

Hairychested, Lol ... Its an interesting concept

Fatbike full-suss 36er, running a Rohloff with 3x11 deraileur & hammerschmidt is where its at.

Do you drive a Model T ford?Posted 1 year ago # -
@nickf, you're so last month, toilet paper is the newest dream material, doncha know?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Ah, but this is special Ti, paw-welded by dope-smoking pandas high in the mountains (and high on mystical herbs, obviously).

Do you drive a Model T ford?
nope, but i sure as s**t don't drive a Hummer

If things carry on as they are pretty soon it'll be common or garden 5" full sus bikes that'll be considered as niche

His bikes handle well and are better priced than USA manufacturers.

Ever ridden one? Bet you don't live in Scotland, do you?
There's more of this on the way
