You inspired me to go out and buy a fat tire bike. Today I got a Trek Farley. What a blast to ride
and reasonably light at 31 pounds.

The Trek Farley is also a lovely machine Charlie. My LBS has one in the showroom and i have taken it out down over steps and up a curb and its fun. You sure get lots of looks on a fatty..trek is coming out with a farley that has front suspension in the fall..

Nice, a fat bike is next on my list. Been looking at a 9Zero7 of late. I would go with the aluminum framed, carbon fork with a 1X11 drive train. Weight should be in the 26lbs range.

If you go to Fatbikes.com it is the Nome model. I got the weight from the folks at 9Zero7 and I've had some conversation with some owners on 9Zero7 FB page.
