42 lb. You can't really blame them for hiding that one away a bit

Bit more money, 17.9 kg ?

But off topic perhaps, but, thus far Ive ridden my mates On One Fatty and a Ritchey Commando. Admittedly the Commando was a large, and possibly a bit big for me , but frankly I preferred the Fatty.

How on earth did they get it that heavy? Drilled rims should save a bit and the frame can't be heavier than a pugsley?

I wouldn't buy it, it'd be like buying a £200 BSO (plus fatbike tax) and then deciding you don't like MTBing.

42lb isn't that bad, my Fatty must be the wrong side of 35lb with 1x10 and RD rims. Bit of transmission upgrading on that one above when things wear out would leave you under 40lb, them maybe lighter wheels & you wouldn't be far off 35lb. Seems a good deal to see if you like the fat experience before laying out a big wodge of £

Still think the voodoo more or less destroys the budget fatty market tbh- it's not that much more expensive than the bottom of the barrel stuff but raises the game quite a lot.
