Just got myself a Fat Bike!
So, after contemplating it for the last few years, and having done some rides recently, I took the plunge and bought myself a 2016 Kona Wo from a LBS.
It was a winter rental, and well, we don't get a lot of snow in these parts, so it hasn't been used a whole lot. Although there are better options (the LBS is renting Trek Farleys this year), I think it was pretty much a steal for the price I paid. As soon as I get a chance, first things I'm doing to swap are the pedals (VSixty to some clipless) and the saddle (stock to either a Brooks C15 or B17) https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...2922e9b58b.jpg |
that looks like a pretty nice one to find used. cant go wrong

You will have a blast. No snow down here but a fatbike is like a monster truck you can run over anything. |
That bike looks like a beast! How much does it weigh? I was looking at some fat bikes this weekend and I gotta say, they do look interesting. Maybe I'll mount one next year after I get back into better cycling shape. Just getting back into it after way too long. Again, beautiful bike! You definitely scored!

Which, would only be about 4 more pounds than my gravel (Felt V85). Weight isn't as big of an issue for me, on something like this, compared to something more of a road bike, since speed isn't a factor as much. This does well on hills (better than the gravel), and is great for long distances (just did a 112km / 70 miler on it) Definitely recommend it. They're not cheap, but are a lot of fun. Can see myself using this a lot this summer |

I love mine. I moved the rear wheel fully aft after one too many climbs that lifted the front wheel.

Wow that's a beast indeed. I too have a fat bike, love riding it on roads. We don't have snow here in India, however beach rides are fun
