Can you get a decent fat bike under $1000?
I'm 5'1". It seems likely only the better fat bikes, the ones made by actual bike manufacturers, would come in different frame sizes.
If you don't mind buying used, you can get a great fatbike for $1,000.00 or even less. I just looked at a stock 2014 Surly Pugsley on Craigslist, barely driven, ready to roll for $850.00 OBO. I buy almost ALL my bikes used because you can get a great bike for less rather than a lesser bike for greater cost.
