Lucky, lucky man!
Enjoy, as I know you will

Cheers Jamie.
I hope so. Believe it or not I have never ridden a 4" fatbike. Not even around a car park! :shock:
Only fatbikes I've ever ridden are my Moonie and Saltys Moonie at GT.

Not supposed to be in the shops till mid November and I could do with reading more reviews on it first (just found one reveiw so far).

2016 Genesis Longitude 650b+

Well, in a email from Madison today they don't expect the Longitude to be in the shop till the end of Febuary
and the frame till mid January :?

You're not in a rush are you?

Re:

Have you considered the new Marin Rob?

 

[RobMac]

Re:

Is it just me but Marin, well modern day Marin never enters my head, is it poor marketing or what? :?
That looks OK BTW.

I don't want to poo on anyones parade and normally just think that each to his own and all, but that Marin ????? That could only look good if it was priced under £300. Really uninspiring from where I see it (and I have a HD monitor). The seat tube junctions for top tube and seat stays look wrong, the chainstays look like they have been pressed, and the colour, well I see they are trying to get with the 'retro' theme but really it just looks like some old £100 Marin. I like the really old Marins but for a long time they are so uninspiringly bland they should come with a packet of pressed chicken. This is just the ' hey! fatbikes are popular, lets just put some 4inch tyres on an old frame and get it out there'
No offence

Re:

I don't think any of the old guns figure highly in folks thoughts these days but they are still there putting out solid bikes. I reckon it's a bargain at £750
