Had a feeling that would be the case, I think I need to ride one before doing any more FAB. And bones need to knit before that happens
Thanks for your help
Depends where you are, but we've got demo bikes available. You're welcome to come and have a go, if you think you're lard enough.Thanks for your help

Tim, some great looking products but you really need to invest in your website. No offense mate but that is painful to use.
I know, it's on the list You're miles away from me, but if I'm ever up that way I'll look you up

Also seriously thinking of having a punt on a fat bike purely for sts and giggles.
Any thoughts on the new genesis caribou:

I rode in the Merida Brass Monkeys enduro race at Minley today yesterday, and was passed by two chaps on fat bikes. They seemed to be running quite well in the terrible muddy quagmire that was masquerading as a race lap. They sound awesome on gravel at speed too. If I had the space and the cash, I'd be very tempted.
ETA: One of the guys on the fatties came 6th overall.

It's a nice bike - the tyres let it down to be honest, but otherwise all is good.Any thoughts on the new genesis caribou:

Give me a shout if you want one, I'll see what we can do.
I thought I'd bump this thread up, as I spotted this while browsing yesterday...

Obviously the cable discs need to go immediately, to be replaced by hydraulic ones, but it looks like it could be fun for someone wanting to take a punt.
19.4kg though, that's A LOT of weight!

I've got a Specialized Fatboy, love it, it's amazing to ride. Much prefer it to my Giant Anthem Only changes so far is the saddle to a Fizik Tundra2, because I managed to bend the Henge it came with
Love these, it's one of those things that you just need to try for a week before committing though.I have been using a OnOne Fatty through the winter as I wanted something simple to maintain with all the mud. Really didn't know how I was going to get on with it and took a punt on a secondhand one, but I love it. Serves the purpose of a simple winter bike to run and clean post ride, grips fantastically well over slippy roots, rocks, mud etc. It's not fast going up but it's great coming down, regularly leave most of my mates behind on the slippy decents. I taken it to trail centres and had a blast, done a Wiggle Epic ride and had a great time.
The added benefit is I now much faster then most of my mates as I've been working harder all winter, lol. Seriously, I do think it's a great winter training bike as it is harder work, but hey, it's loads of fun.
