Fat Bike! I pulled the trigger!!!

[ReverendNewman]

Been wanting one. I rented the Farley EX8 Full Suspension from Brielle this past beautiful weekend. I hated it!!!!! Handled well, loved the traction but WAY to heavy and slow. (Of course some of u said a FS fat bike is way over kill at Allaire. I now agree.) Not as cushy as I thought it'd be, running about 10-12 psi. Oh, and that horrible " California Blue" color. Ugh!. So I went back to the Brielle, the guys rolls out the actual bike my GF bought for me. A Farley EX 7. 26x4.8 tires, tubeless. Took that out Saturday & Sunday. Love it !!!!

Went back to Brielle Monday and upgraded to and purchased the 2017 Farley 9.8, tubeless. I'm hooked. I wanted a more high end Fat Bike and definitely wanted 27.5 wheels. Hopefully it'll be ready Friday nite.

I was thinking baseball cards between the spokes, but hey, they're to expensive. LOL

Dude....trends and fads have to start somewhere...

Edit:
And, it'd give the haters more ammo for ridiculing us fat bikers...

With a fatbike you don't need a bell, everyone thinks you're riding a monster truck!!!

They will be a fad until @pooriggy sells his xc skis and gives in.

Congrats on becoming a fattie.

FS fat bikes have their place, allaire isn't it. On a rooted, rocky trail, they do very well.
