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).
dphillips here, I sincerely apologize for the lack of information given. I totally understand what you are saying Camilo All good points. I will try to provide more information specific to the question asked.
