Surly Omniterra bikes on sale!
Pugsley now costs a paltry $899.00
Pug SS, $799.00
Pug Ops, a meager $999.00
Moonlanders, $1199.00
Ice Cream Truck Ops, $1199.00
ICTs were getting low when I ordered on Monday, but I imagine there will be a bunch out in the world at these good prices.

Are you fat? Do you like it? What would you do different next time?

Thoughts? I figure he'd take $800. Again. Total newb here. I'd still have to ride it of course. I think I might like to go fat moving to the MS beaches and all."One season per year, the gods open the skies, and releases a white, fluffy, pillow on top of the most forbidding mountain landscapes, allowing people to travel over them with ease and relative abandonment of concern for safety.

Look at the prices of new ones.
He's asking as much as a new one and it also has relatively skinny tires for the beach. Is he going to give you a warranty?
Buying new, you can ride a bunch of different bikes, in different sizes and find the one that fits.

Anyone ever heard of Moose Bicycle? They have a fat bike for 1099CAD, wondering if it is on par with Walmart bikes or is it worth looking at?

Budget fat bikes are probably going be quite heavy but if that's not a concern, the price is right for a bike you won't be riding everyday. That one also has 5 inch tires, which are really ideal for snow but not so much for trail riding. I've heard mixed things about those complete fat bikes that hover around $1000. Some use them and love them, others have had issues with quality.
Considering most fat bikes aren't being thrashed everyday, it might not be a bad idea to poke around for a higher quality, lightly used one.

Yeah, I bought the 1st gen Kona and it is a tank. Changing tubes, tires, handlebars, and derailleur has helped tremendously, but she is still a tank. I guess I really don't care though...sometimes I think I should, but then I realize how I use the bike and it really doesn't matter. For me it's just to spin in the snow or a 'bar' bike running the dog around.
Not to say that I wouldn't want a full squish 'nice' fatty for 'real' riding also. Then again, looking at the mid-fat 650b or whatever they're called, I'd like one of those also.

Don't get a moonlander, they are tanks. Unless the primary use will be on snow I found them to be too sluggish. You can get a great deal on a 1 or 2 year old used nice fatty that has barely been used. Look for 907's or Fatboys, ya know bikes that were intended to be FUN.

The frame looks like the same as the KHS 4 Season line of bikes. Not great, but not bad.

As others have said, It's likely quite heavy, but not a bad starter bike. Expect to ride it for the season, and dump it for something (slightly) lighter next season.
FWIW, I started out with an OG Pugsley and moved into a Framed Alaskan a few years later. Both are bomber bikes for the price.

Curious to see what Surly replaces the pugs with for next year. Or maybe they will just keep it to the Wednesday and blue ICT. I love my necro pugs but really wish I could run a 4.8" (Lou) on the back.
