With hindsight my fatty’s best aspect was that it wasn’t a full sus.
It was a rigid bike with suspension.
I loved the directness of pedalling it. No bob ,no winding the bike up just pedal and go.
I have since bought a Scandal and it does everything I ask of my fatty but with less effort required.
Not ridden my fatty for months. It won’t get a look in this winter as narrow tyres are better in the mud.
All the nice bits have been taken off the fatty and put on other bikes. The Hope D.T wheels are getting sold and the On Ones going back on.
I would sell it but Mrs Zip reminds me that I loved it so much that if I get rid of it I will just buy another at some point.
So it’s gone to the bottom of the bike pile to become a once a year beach bike.
edit. I will just add that the orange 5 I bought was worse to ride than the fatty. That has definitely been sold.
