As with nearly everything on this bike, I've been experimenting with fit. I've since changed the handlebar position (the graphics are now facing forward) so they're more like a slight riser type bar now, but haven't been on the trail yet. Also, it appears to be difficult to find a suspension fork with 150mm hub spacing. Everything seems to be 135mm. Don't even know if I'll do a fork yet. I really hate to ADD weight to the bike and I like the simplicity of a rigid bike. Need to work on my own trail skills first and go from there.

I believe this terrain would qualify for suspension, but....meh

This is my new/used one. It's a 2019 Specialized Fatboy with 26"x 4.6" tires and I love it.
This is the day I got it, excuse my finger.
This is it on the second day.
