If you can get up to North Berwick in East Lothian (25 mins on the train from Edinburgh) in April there will be at least 60+ fat bikes at FORTH FAT on the weekend of April 5th – 7th, probably every model of fatbike made that is available to buy here in the UK there so you could come along to North Berwick late Saturday affy and have a go of a few :-

Don`t get too conserned about the weight thing with them, if you do then just go 29+ for the speed. All new fatbikes now mostly have single wall drilled rims which make the biggest differance to riding feel to the weight. They are all good, but i am a bit biased to fatbikes 😀
If i bought another i would be waiting for the 2nd generation of Genesis Caribou`s as it will also be 29+ compatable 🙂
