a Weekend Warrior Date Reviewed: August 13, 2012 Strengths: Construction - Solid, smooth and just gorgeous. This is a Waterford built frame and they do it right. Light and lively. The fork is a Waltworks build. Geometry - This bike handles just like a regular mountain bike. Other fat bikes that I have ridden didn't have the nimble feel that this one has. Speedway designed this bike right. Fat tire clearance is huge! I have Husker Dus front and rear and there's still lots of room for Big Fat Larrys. Fun factor and grin creation are outstanding! Weaknesses: Price! This is not a cheap bike, nor is it meant to be. By all rights, it's a custom bike so it's not mass produced, but still... Paint chipping on the rear brake mount. Probably occurred because the paint hadn't cured completely. Not a huge issue because the bike's meant to be ridden and paint's gonna chip. Some touch up paint and it'll be good as new. One thing to be aware of: this is a CUSTOM build! Even though it's listed as an item from a webpage, it's still custom. If you don't spec it out, you won't get it! The forks I ordered did not come with rack mounts or fender mounts because I didn't spec them. They did come with Anything Cage mounts because I did spec them. If you want it, you have to be as specific as possible. Don't assume anything! This isn't a weakness! It's an awareness thing. This is absolutely NOT an off the shelf purchase!
