    Am I wrong to be ignoring fatties?

    I just got back from Philly, and am now officially a fatty. Good thing I emailed before I posted the link, as apparently 5 other people tried to jump on it immediately after I did. Needless to say, it is now in my garage, and he actually lowered the price to 600 even. Has Kona handlebars...

    Going Sunday to look/ride/potentially bring home. If I don't, I will let you all know. If I do, I will let you all know. :popcorn:

    Kranky's eh? I will take a look. I don't know where any shops are anymore. This is sad. Last bike came from Hays Bike Shop on 35 back in the 90s, if anyone remembers that place...

    Am I wrong to be ignoring fatties?

    I was afraid to post the link for that reason. Likely removing to eliminate temptation...

    @jdog I hear ya. If I had the cash, I would do the same. I just collect surf and snowboards for the time being. This will be my fist bike purchase in 20+ years. Too many hobbies.

    @Johnny Utah thank you. That was more or less exactly how I am looking at it. And I completely understand supporting your local shop. Not trying to ruffle feathers.

    Am I wrong to be ignoring fatties?

    I'm breathing. :cool: I still plan on the demo rides for sure. This one just popped up so I figured I would email to see if it was even still available, and check with those who know better than myself. Keeping options open...

    Roger that, captain. I'm just excited to get back on trails. Hard not to be a little jumpy. I just personally can't justify spending thousands on a bike. As you can tell, I am anxious to get myself going, and was hoping to find myself a good entry level platform. 650 would make my wife smile...

    I was thinking that at that price, I could easily snag this and put a few hundred in upgrades into it. Overall budget is almost double the price of the bike...

    Am I wrong to be ignoring fatties?

    Would anyone be willing to take a look at this and let me know how it sounds, as I truly don't know if this is a POS or good deal. It sounded pretty good to me, and I emailed the guy to take a look. I am usually weary of craigslist stuff, but, dude seems legit. Has the original swapped out...

    Am I wrong to be ignoring fatties?

    Looks like tomorrow will be a day of test riding. Will be stopping at a couple of places (Brielle Cyclery and Belmar Bike Shop) as they are in relatively close proximity to one another. Getting pretty excited about this. Maybe next weekend I will try heading in the Halters direction for a...

    Am I wrong to be ignoring fatties?

    Ok, I guess back to the drawing board it is then... Is there even anything decent in the 1200 price range? Guess I should take a closer look at some for sale threads here...
