Hairy Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 I got my hands on one for a very very good price to do just that... test the waters.... changed some of the components (ok most components )straight out the box and to be honest i WANT a proper fatty NOW even MORE than ever. The heaviest parts on this bike is the tyres and tubes. Tyres are about 2.7kgs each and the tubes almost 800gr each. Change the tyres to something much lighter and go tubeless and it wont be half bad for a starter fatty at a very budget price. Once i get my proper fatty ill hand this one down to someone wanting to try the fatty world..... Meet Sir Rommel hahahaThat frame is screaming for a custom spray job ........

Ryanpmb Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 I saw these 2 beauties at the W2W this weekendTwo different frames... Unless the insert creating a little triangle in front of the seat tube is to do with a different size...?

Swart Kat Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 I rode with the Spez Fatbike at W2W with rigid fork, almost felt like it gets a bit bouncy while you ride.....

Ryanpmb Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 I rode with the Spez Fatbike at W2W with rigid fork, almost felt like it gets a bit bouncy while you ride..... What tyre pressure were you running? Sounds like it was too hard.

The Crazy German Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 German:A forks?...More likely to be the Carver or that fork under one of its five of its other names they sold it. In that case they are apparently quite poor quality and leaky leaky
Flowta Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 German:A forks?... Looks like a Maverick SC32 to me
Flowta Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Looks like a Maverick SC32 to meThen again the axle/fork/hub looks a bit different
