Re: Fat Bike Help

what do you mean by two much? and can there ever be such a thing :-)

I would also consider a used bike if anyone is selling

JS: we did talk about yours if you recall but frame is way to small for me, i'd need a large so 21-22"

Are there are brands to consider that i can get in the UK?
