That Savana thing looks a bit like the fat bike Onza were doing over here for £700ish. Looked usable, but a good chunk heavier than the OO fatty.

singletrackuk, drop me an email. I had someone ask if mine was 16" last night so I'll send you his details.

I don't believe all this nonsense about them being just as quick. By the time you factor in the amount of time the rider wastes taking photographs, messing about with his go pro and talking about bottom bracket widths they are slower than my 7 year old. And I've not even mentioned the war relics.

Ive watched a few videos and fat bikes look like good fun, I'm thinking i would like to purchase one but i don't know anything about them

might I be a (lone) voice of reason and sense and suggest you try and borrow/demo one first and see if you do actually want one after riding one?

Videos are one thing, reality may be not quite the same (might be better!), so before you go spunking £ on one have a go first 😉

I bought my 2nd hand Pugsley for £600 many years ago. Still the best £600 I've ever spent and I reckon I could get my money back on it, if I ever decided to sell it.............incredibly doubtful...

I bought a second hand On One Fatty from the Classifieds for £600ish. Good fun for short blasts although it doesn't replace my main mtb for longer rides.

THe one I picked up in the shop was pleasantly light but it was a 17" so fairly small.

Wheeler have a carbon model as well, which I imagine will be one of those open mold chinese ones.

Quadruple your budget and get 29+ like a Krampus, better in every single way (in the UK for about 340 days a year). 😉
