    I bet if you bought it, stripped off and replaced all the crappy parts, then replaced the frame and fork, you'd end up with a pretty nice bike.

    Dude, all great bikes come with kickstands For 2 bills it looks like it will be fine for boppin' around with the kidz. Go into it with super low expectations, how bad could it be...

    I guess if you say so, but it's pretty easy to blow a $100 on a tire.

    Looking at new fatties since snow is just around the corner.

    Want something with the new geometry in the 68° or so head tube angle. Ideally I'd want even more. Pretty short chainstays are available now too. The more rake, the easier it is to break trail and it's just better for riding in general when there is just a small amount of snow on normal terrain.

    What I want and don't want is the 650b fat because I have studded 26" tires!

    So get a 650 fat and a second set of wheels for icy rides, 26 fats will fit pretty much all of them.

    I woke to 6" of snow this morning!!!! I busted out the fatty for my commute to work, fresh tracks for about 2 km of bike path, most of it downhill.

    There's no such thing as bad snow, just shitty skiers.

    It’s bit pricey but the Chromag Nice Dreams is a fatty with modern geo. My buddy has one and it’s a blast.

    "Modern" geo for a fatbike might be more important (if you drink that kookaid) for trail, but for snow not so much. Longer stays means stability and a steeper HTA keeps a nice amount of weight over the front end for steering traction and balance in a variety of snow conditions.

    You're an idiot. Try breaking trail instead of riding flat groomed shit.
    Rake is where it's at.

    ^^ Hahaha

    So I'm putting together a proposal for a fat bike program at my local ski area and will be presenting it to the owners this week. They own over 300 acres and only actively use ~90 and the rest of the land is laced with trails and old work roads that are mostly kept clear. They even have a narrow track groomer that they built to pull behind a snowmobile that can get into most of the trail network and are open to the idea of using the chairlift to get people to the top of the ski area to the trailhead so they don't have to ride up while people are skiing down. I'm kind of excited

    Thanks man. It has potential to turn into a summer program too.

    I find myself riding the Fatty more than my hardtail (when not on one of the squishy bikes) so am in the process of thinning the herd.

    Putting all the nicer bits on the Fatty, have a work buddy roadie who want a deal on a mtb. He's already committed to buying the resulting hardtail build.

    Then that money will get used for a 27.5+ wheel/tire setup for the Fatty non-snow times!

    Yeah that's what happened to me too. This year it's been all about the plus bike. Let me know when you're ready for that set of plus wheels, these are pretty kickass https://www.dirtcomponents.com/produ...-industry-nine They are available with other hubs so don't have to be quite that pricey and the house brand hubs will be available soon which should bring the price down under $1300.

    Hahaha!

    I like you dude, but there's no way in hell I'm paying that much for a set of wheels on ANY of my bikes. Let alone the one that gets the least mileage!

    Already have the new wheel steeze incoming anyhow, but thanks.
