Least Expensive Fat Bike

[silentbutdeadly]

Are Kona bringing in these?

View attachment 274606

They are in the 2014 Tech book on the Groupe Sportif website...so...probably. And it should be cheap according to those specs...especially with the Joytech wheels.

What about those stylish wheel reflectors I see on new bikes? Did you get some of them?

Hopefully. Apparently I may even get a plastic fat bike spoke protector if i'm lucky.

Do they throw in the peg and footy card these days?

I put my Salsa Mukluk together for just over a grand, I got the frame shipped over from Bikeman for about 700, add in wheels from on one, drivetrain from the many bikes I have had over the years, a new set of bars and a couple of other sundries and its done. I am running mine with an On-One 29er wheelset as I am building up a Trek Farley Fatbike, a fatbike with Superfly geo and handling. It can be done on the affordable level, you just have to shop around, the Norco Bigfoot through the dealer can be had for 1400, you just need to work on them, limited stock coming in though will make it hard, but if they want your business then they will come down in price.


Don't let the haters get to you, buy it for the fun and stuff, its your bike and money at the end of the day, you just gotta justify it to yourself at then of the day

Ressurection

I think this is the cheapest landed in Aus (If you're in melb at least) - $850

I'm not in the market for one (I would love one actually) but going to check it out when I get a chance.

I would be all over that for $850 if they had 21"

17keg's is hefty though.

It's not too far from other fatties. Moonlander is about that isn't it? 36lb? Alloy On One is 31lb?

It looks like it has some cheap bits that could make it lighter and still fall under $1k. Free if you have spares around.
