This isn't a Xizang or made from Ti, but it is a GT and follow the process that needs to happen.

 

I just hope your guys welding is better than this guys.

Hey thanks for this Flowta! Ja those welds are a bit dodgy - that's how I weld, but as I said my fabricator is a master, stacking pennies is his job!

A cross-post from the SS thread

 

My 26+'d Azonic Steelhead (put a Dirt Wizard on the back yesterday).

 

I'll try take a picture this afternoon/evening

As soon as it starts snowing here I am gonna get me one of these

 

Something similar to what Don Henley said, when asked about The Eagles playing together again...

I like the look of those

 

If they made it in 26, then I could squeeze them into the Steelhead.

 

Though there may be enough space for 27.5+, but then I would need new wheels (I definitely wouldn't be popular at home)

Makro got something similar under the Raleigh brand arriving mid Nov. I'll get pics  & specs

 

Did these come in?

[BogusOne]

Did these come in?

 

Was at Makro earlier and walked past the bike section. Didnt see any....

Did these come in?

Bikes are not in the stores yet, there has been an issue with Customs. Still waiting for info on the specs from the Makro chaps

Rode the Specialized Fatboy at the Spez demo day this week... Those 4.8" tyres are HUGE... noticeably different to the 4.0" ones. Was a fun ride in Cascades.

so, would you??

[Ryanpmb]

so, would you??

Would I?..

 

Buy a Specialized - Probably not. Just not my scene.

 

Buy a Fatbike - Yes. I did. Probably one of first to have one in SA. Just sold it as I have plans for something else.

 

Buy 4.8" tyres for a Fatbike - yes.

Ja, that's what I was on about..... Ignore what the brand stands for, the Fatboy is awesome

Was wondering when you would see the light, time for an upgrade

agree, if you are going to go fat, do it properly

 

[Ryanpmb]

One of.

 

Forgot it's Friday...

 

Am moving on to one of the fatty brands that were probably here first - Certainly exposed to us KZN slowed up mere mortals first. ????

[Wyatt Earp]

Speaking of firsts, and most likely the only one.

A project we worked on.

I have no issue with the brand. Actually find it an exciting brand that are launching some very interesting bikes. I had a fantastic time at one of their demo days recently.

 

Haha - that On One was fun and is a super bike. The geometry is just perfect for what I used a Fatbike for. I have something up my sleeve. Not necessarily an upgrade, just something else.

 

Yip. I couldn't believe the difference in the tyres. Was very impressed.
