I have come to the conclusion that the majority of fatbike owners have the colour coordination skills of a clown with a colour vision disorder. Just because riding a fat bike makes you feel like you’re 6 doesn’t mean you need to make it look like an 80’s abortion of clashing filth. All that’s missing is some spokey dokeys, a playing card in spokes and one of those yellow loud halers that used to make police siren noises and machinegun sounds.
So, no fence / arsecrack interface ambiguities there then ..
after years of punting it round bikes i think ive finally found a bike it suits.
but then i was always sticking it on ultra light XC builds and wondering why it killed the spirit of the bike.,… id stick an SS rear wheel in and the bike was transformed…. rohloff never went back on.
But officer friendly, yours has a colour scheme and some thought so I have no issues with that, not my taste but it doesn’t set my death kill maim alarms off
I’ve got a Hope T Rex on the back of mine with a oneup Rad cage on xt mech it’s built up from the rolling chassis kit with the normal saddle (it’s not a bad saddle actually) wide bars and short stem from OO.
@Trail_rat Nice! I love single speed, can’t run anything but! I think it’s the way the drivetrain feels, super tight and incredibly efficient, nothing comes close to that true SS feel! Even my touring bike (ECR) is single speed (: always considered getting in IGH but damn, I’m broke now! Just built up a semi fat 3″ Surly 1×1 with Candy Apple red Marge Lite rims, Maverick SC32s and more wingbars! and I don’t know how on earth you’ve got nates on SC32s, on mine, the end to end gap is just under 4″ and that’s end to end, no way is nate going to be happy in there! I’m running Rolling Darryls, that may be why?
@tazzymtb awww is that almost a compliment? 😀 I love how awesome the rasta theme looks but then again I’m not a 40 yo man 😀
Hmmm Im amused by the angst against Fart Bikes In my view any bike that lets you do more is worthy of being a Mountain Bike. These bikes Really can do it all.
I personally don’t like 29 ers they ride orrible on the trails I normally ride but each to their own. Oh wait most Fart bikes are 29 by default.
I think that most who run Fat bikes don’t take themselves too seriously and them that are vocally angst agin them Take themselves waaaaaaaay toooo seriously. Its all about fun fun fun.
Saw the Specialized Fatboy Pro at a bike expo.Very nice,but £3500 😯 Not even carbon frame. FFS it’s essentially the same as the Single Scoop.Even the base model without Blutos costs more 🙁

Couldnt give a toss about the haterz of fat 😆
best bikes for offroad riding around here 😀
Just when I thought I’d never see a fat bike and want one. Either they fugly and cheap or wrong geometry or clown bike looking or they looked great but were silly money.
Edit – I do not have any tattoos. And I’d much prefer the Boring Black decals that the prototypes had over the Outrageous Orange ones of the production bikes. 😡
Had its first ride out this morning, love it! It’s my new mud plugger, the mukluk is now being used for bike packing duties. No more swapping tyres over for rock or mud 🙂
