Any Fatties Out There?

[Ryanpmb]

Is there anyone out there who owns & regularly uses a 'Fatty' bike?

 

Such as this...

Where is the endjun?? With those tyres it should have one!!!

On One also makes one now. Quite a nice concept.

I've been speaking to the On One lads in the UK. They will send one here, no problem. BUT... They only selling full bikes.

 

At 1000 pounds plus duties (on full bikes) plus plus... Well you do the math. In excess of 20k for a rigid X5 machine?...

A Fatty on a Fatty would be cool...

They seem to be popular in cold climes for riding in snow, not sure there would be any purpose for them here in warm SA, unless you live at Tiffendell/Lesotho?

They are obviously good in snow, but if you read up on them the big volume tyres allow you to run very low pressures which provides a level of cushioning, making a rigid ride comfortable over rocks, gravel and roots and providing a huge amount of grip in sandy conditions... Just an interesting concept and something different to talk about

I seriously wanted to buy one before! Hoped to use it for a desert trip on the sand

I've been considering one.
