I bought the Specialized Fat Bike

SRAM component etc

I will upgrade the brakes

bar and maybe the seat post

 

They all about the 13k mark for a decent fatty

It's up to you what you settle for and what stock you can find

By decent I mean

Alu frame

Mid range components

At least 4.6 wide tyres

Something that does not kill the scale either

 

Yes you can get allot more for more SA Rands

It's the normal..... how long is a piece of string
