Thanks for pointing this out. It definitely changes the discussion. It points out a pet peeve of mine - people who post a model of bike and expect that the readers will know what the heck it is. For something fairly common like any Trek or Specialized product, maybe (but still...). In this case I know nothing about what is a Farley and since it's a fat bike, the comments I personally made, and probably quite a few others, are virtually irrelevant. If dphillips had provided this simple information, like "fat bike" "carbonfiber (or whatever) frame", "XYZ group", it would have been much better, imo. I thought I was talking about just a heavy road or hybrid type bike that wouldn't (IMO) be worth any upgrades other than fit/contact items. If it starts out as a pretty high end bike, I would probably have said, go for it. (I guess I kind of did in an earlier post).
