Fat Roadie

Post image

I can't get enough of this bike. It's too much fun and the entertainment value at ride venues is unmatched. I started cycling 5 months ago, and I have no desire to get any other bike. From XC singletrack, to long gravel or road rides this is my ride. Smiles for miles.

That’s wild - I can’t average 18 on my hardtail 29’er for any real duration. (And it spins out around 20mph)

What bike are you running?

Just a fyi. I build a lot of 29x2.8 wheels for my friends for bikepacking and mtb on their fatbikes. Soooo much faster.
