BenReaper Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 What you do not see in this video is that these guys offer what you would call a 'budget fatbike' that I am considering to buy.
WezGK Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Doesnt look to bad.I was looking at it too... not bad at R5k...
King_Crispy Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 It's so heavy you need 2 people to pedal it
WezGK Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 It's so heavy you need 2 people to pedal itHaha.... Yup.. steel frame....
Letum911 Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 I had a look at this bike last weekend. Its pretty heavy, but also solid! I reckon if you change the drivetrain to something stronger you'll have an awesome bike!!!!
Brian Fantana Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 I was looking at it too... not bad at R5k...R4100 at my LBS.
martinvdw Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 It weighs 22kg. Went for n ride on one at my LBS. Really heavy
King_Crispy Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 It weighs 22kg. Went for n ride on one at my LBS. Really heavyPut frankly, it's wannabe, look-alike piece of ***.The wheels are the weight, not the steel frame. Kinda like kissing your cousin. Feels the same, but it's just not right
RyanHLouw Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Available at sportsmanswarehouse for R4500:Â http://www.sportsmanswarehouse.co.za/rapid-fat-cat-26-bike.html#.VFsIXvmUdj8, just not closeby. Â Any resellers in PTA east???
Ryanpmb Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Haha.... Yup.. steel frame....Whats that got to do with it?... My Niner SIR9 is lighter than most race hardtails and my Cotic X is a light as any competitive road bike... both are WAY more comfy than their carbon counterparts. Just because its a steel bike doesn't mean thats why its heavy. These are heavy because they have *** components, *** wheels and yes, probably use *** steel...

Vetseun Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 What you do not see in this video is that these guys offer what you would call a 'budget fatbike' that I am considering to buy.You will need to replace the crank set. It looks like one off a Makro bike.
BenReaper Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Had seen one at one of my LBS's the other day,but didnt have a good look at it as I was made to feel unwelcome in the shop,left in a hurry.think I will give it a month or two before I go back there to have a better look.
