You got one to demo?
Fatbike or am I full of squishy $hit
- Thread starter mattybfat
- Start date
Remind me when it rolls in. This will be my N+1 if it rocks like I think it will.
Wow, that bike looks amazing! I'll likely end up with this or a Stumpjumper 6Fattie once I get bored with my Fatboy.

Would this be one to compare to the Bad Habit? Or are these very different types of bikes?
RSD UPDATE.
Not all roses but I have a frame on its way. Many emails with Alex and even reached out to @tracer650 from wykoff cycles.
My options take a gen3 like mine but beefed welds in broken location in blue with a small scratch. Wait 3 months for new gen3 in black. Or pay $250 for 2016 model that has all the upgrades post I my previous post.
I wanted 2016 upgrade but that also comes with an additional cost as gen1-3 are spec with forks 468mm 42 offset with that geo. The 2016 frame is suspension corrected at a 490 mm with a 51 offset and $350 price tag.
Oh the dilemma, after scouring for a comparable fork but cheaper before I make my decision. Well I came up with nothing. Closet fork in axel to crown is fatboy fork at 496mm at a 47mm offset. So maybe I can find one of those if I go that route.
Reason there is a Gen3 frame available still and being manufactured is because I am not alone. Gen1-2 have had breaking issues so now Gen3 is still being produced to replace those. Slick move door 1 or upgrade at an additional cost at door number 2.
I will let the few following comment here as I said I have a frame on way.
Then I will add final comments.

Someone stole it off of @JohnnyUtah and it wasn't me
