Great film by someone who did Mega on a Sandman fat bike.
I've ridden with the guy who made it and he is pretty crazy! ๐Ÿ™‚

I rode the Ti one around the car park at the mega - weird but really light

3500 euros complete I think

Impressive. Bet they're actually pretty good on that kinda terrain but even with fat tyres, fully rigid must break your wrists?

I don't think so, I've not ridden one in anger off road but I get the impression they are very capable, especially with a 80mm fork.

Mega race course isn't actually that difficult. Problems occur when you try and go off line to overtake. The main line itself isn't that technical. The qualifier is more technical and more enjoyable IMO.

Wow. Very impressive. I must admit I am not that comfortable on a bike to do this!
