Re: Would you buy a PX Packraft?
Yet Giant have announced fat bikes, so perhaps the market isn’t deadJohnClimber wrote:I hope they don't do pack rafts.
Their on one Fatties flooded (no pun intended) the fat bike market and killed it dead.

Yeah but he's no longer special .... Definition of a dead niche innit
Re: Would you buy a PX Packraft?
I probably wouldn't buy a packraft from px nope.
I had an inbred back in the day. It was all I could afford at the time and it was a bike I enjoyed a lot.
I've also had a road bike from them quite a while ago, the quality wasn't great. Nothing terrible but nothing quite right.
Only other thing I've bought recently are some bib longs. Again quality isn't great and I don't think they'll last long.
For me that lack of quality means there's always the feeling that thier kit will give up on me so I'll not be buying anything else from them.

Just like Surly, though the price is quite different.FLV wrote:the quality wasn't great. Nothing terrible but nothing quite right.
If you want a packraft, get one from Packrafting.de or Alpacka. From a place that has proven experience.
Just buying something for the sake of a cheap deal seems quite wrong to me for many reasons. Plus, they don't even have one yet...

Specialised makes a s-works Fatboy, Trek has a full blown set of options to choose from.
Not that many have actually gone, much more have come. Best of all, the fatbikes have matured into good bikes. If anything, I think On-One has helped here.
