What's going on out there? Anybody going to compete with the Bucksaw?
The older I become and still riding the tech granite, the more I like the fat tire. It's just easier. I see a FS as the everyday bike for me.

I'd mention the one turner makes but I'm still sulking about the fact that this is what turner is doing these days.

King Kahn...nice

It's like fat skis for people that kinda sucked at skiing. So yeah, maybe I suck at riding. Well, I do suck and I'm old, so this is a win win for me.

Those bikes are basically the same suspension layout as a 5-spot/Burner. I haven't looked at what's going on with the bucksaw but my 5-spot is/was the best riding suspension mountain bike I've ever owned just in terms of how the rear end worked. A buddy had a KK on loan for a while and was pretty impressed with it......and he's not a fat bike advocate by any means.

If I ever get a fat bike that's the way I'll go. I don't need or want float for snowy trails. I'll ski. But it would be fun for a B bike, and would be great for smoothing out the winter trail crud we get around here: tracked up ice/snow/mud.

I've gotten a couple days of granite ride time on a Turner and it's a fun! Should get to play with one for a week straight this month, looking forward to it. Have not tried any other FS fatty so I can't comment on how it compares to others though.
Here is a photo taken yesterday by my bud with First Track Productions
Besides the ones already mentioned:
