Fatboy or Farley
I am currently saving for my Fat Bike and at first it was between the Surly or the Trek but wanting it to be light so I chose the Trek and which one so I know how much I need to save.
Then the other day I was in a bike shop getting my Gravel Bike fixed and I see this beauty: Fat Boy from Specialized.
Now I swore of Specialized due to them leaving a bad taste in my mouth, but since the pros still use them maybe I just had a dud.
So I ask you fell Fat Bike members/owners:
Farley or a Fat Boy
That is the question!

Wow no replies. WHATEVS!
Anyway last night looked at the details and money in my savings account for big purchases; I will have more than enough in May which is my birthday. That is the buying date.

Both are good bikes. Try both and see which one feels better to you.
The Fatboy has a slightly steeper head tube angle which is better if you only use it on snow during the winter.
I have a Fatboy and love it.
