[Closed] Carbon On One fatty

I'd be interested to hear more about the bike's rationale.

This image makes it look like it's got v-brakes.

Is there something about discs which makes them unsuitable in ultra-cold conditions, or maybe I've got the wrong end of the stick.

I can't even see disc mounts.

edit: they need to change the timestamp on their camera.

Someone either needs to change the time/date on their camera, or that's old news 🙂

Looks to me like they've chopped the back end of a carbon CX bike in half to provide the stays. That pointless flare out halfway down the seatstays is just going to catch your heels when pedalling. Can't see it making production like that.

They will just sell it and get punters to iron out the issues 🙂

I can see a spoon, I'm sure I can!

Looks like an April Fool stunt... other bikes hacked up and placed on a jig to look like a Fatty?

Good effort.

frame weights arent too bad on most fat bikes .
we need work done on lighter fat bike wheels and tyres.

Yes, good call - here's their 'modular' building system:

There is no production. All their frames are made one at a time. And if those stays don't work, we can cut them off and glue some different ones on. When I left them they were going to order some long 22mm tubing to make it more like the regular Fatty frame, but yes - they are essentially making it for standard parts they have.

The chainstays are their standard 29er model, split and seperated.

Is that your 'Finland Special' 😉

Not if my feet hit the seatstays when I ride along, no!

Unless you're going to wear ballet pumps, I'll be ****ing amazed if they don't. Might just be optical, but I'd be getting them to find a different seatstay solution sharpish.
