The opening dialogue is comedy gold

That was ace.

Awesome!
gotta love the cameraman’s panting at the end!!

Cool

Very nice!
I have a dream of riding a fat bike like that along the top of the Roaches. One day.

What hubs are those?

What hubs are those?

Hope Fatsno maybe? Hard to tell as the rear hub is only in view for a couple seconds…

Excellent vid. No mini-subs though!

Look like Hopes to me.

Eurobike 2013: Demo Day Trends

It’s like a normal bike but with big fat tyres.

yeah, that is ace

I just watched it again to look for the painting…. doh 😳

WANT!

That’s the first bike I have seen in years that I WANT for no reason whatsoever.

I got an On-One Fatty late last year. It is great fun! 😀

The Nicolai looks nice, but a singlespeed fatbike would be quite limiting for me. I need my gears! 😳

Do you think there would be any way to fit a hammerscmidt? That might be enough for me.

Yep, got me too. 1st time I can think an advert had the desired effect on me. How much is that Nicolai, that exact bike there?

For a clown bike, that thing looks ACE. Want.

1350 euros, according to the website.
WANT.

€1350 for the bike? Or just the frame?

1350 euros, according to the website.

Frame-only

Didn’t realise it was singlespeed – my lust has just vanished 🙂
(although that dropout looks like it will swap)

It looks great fun going down and over stuff.
It looks bloody awful if you want to ride it uphill.
For that reason I’m out.

Frame only I guess. 🙁

now that’s how to market a fatty – not a beach or snowfield in sight

they’ll sell a shedload, perhaps even one to me.

Damn, so much £!

Fatties look fun.

Nice!

Anyone know who the song is by?

I like that too.

Stick some gears on it though, 1×9 ought to do it.

*puts on Xmas list

“MUSIC: “The Borderline” by DISK EYES”

given the weight of the wheels already I could see me running a Rohloff on one of those.

Now that is nice.
Expensive smashing a Gates ring into a rock though, I’d get a bash-guard…

that song was amazing

Great video – but only goes to reinforce my view that I need front suspension on a fat bike (heading downhill through rock gardens).

Gofasterstripes- Disk Eyes is a music service not the artist themselves.

Any other ideas? If you search for Borderline you get a lot of stuff about Madonna, unsurprisingly.

Why so much for a hardtail frame? I can understand R&D costs on a full suss but a hardtail? That’s just a bit silly. Nicolai know they’ll sell as there are plenty of people who want to be different but I’m sure it costs them peanuts to produce and could sell it much cheaper

Haven’t you just answered your own question: because they can.

Colour, that colour is rather smashing 😉

I do wonder when Niner will get around to designing a Fatty.

Shazam says music is: Stay Tuned: The Borderline

I’m sure it costs them peanuts to produce

why are you sure?
