Best BSO ever - in fact I think I want one!

[Gravity Aided]

We had an old feller around here rode a fat bike all last winter. He said it does pretty well in snow. I just don't see the advantage.

What you really want is one of these, with or without the drop bars.

My custom one is arriving in early April

It's a Playmobil bike scaled up for adults.

I put a set of 26 x 2.125" Big Apples on the mtb I have been working on. I sudden'y feel inadequate after seeing the size of the wheels on these bikes

Where's the ambulance?

Fat tyres are epic

Thats all fokes, nothing else of remote value to add.

Does it have one of those carbo-ferric technology frames?

Fat tyres are epic

They get you out and about in conditions and areas that you wouldn't normally ride in or on

Winter

Sand dune down hilling, (soft landing when crashing)

Beach riding at low tide

Overtaking roadies, (they don't like it)

And even for racing.

Come and join the Fat Bike fun, but be warned not all Fat Bikes are equal

The top "Fat" tyre is the front of an On One Fatty, this is a fantastic trail bike, but for sand and snow I find the larger 4.8" on a 100mm wide rim by far the best option.

I'm upgrading soon to a 4.8" front and back tyred Titanium beast on 100mm rims ready for the summer.

Too right.
That's why I was out playing in the snow last night in the local woods
Whilst others were sat reading the waffle on here

That's because we had more sense.

But I had more fun
