Most people seen to think my newly acquired Fatty is ridiculously large but up against the Landy, which I thought it would match up to, it appears to be an over tyred jump bike. : |

I have never wanted snow so much, one of my best mates, whose job title is 'Head of Public Weather' (don't worry he gets enough stick) reckons the acquisition of these two together provided the 'butterfly effect' to prevent snow locally!!?

If you want snow, you need only move a bit further north

Great vid, very jealous. Still had a right giggle on the Fatty today on the local downhill tracks, a smile a minute bike.

Had a play on my mates' fatty on the NHS Moors in the snow this weekend.

Proper silly saddle down, open kneed chucking it about. A lightened front makes all the difference on the Fatty. It already has reasonable angles. Carbon fork and bars, drilled rim and a much lighter tube makes it so much more playful without compromising anything.

I've already played with this bike ad a trail machine.

I think my resolve on the n+1 question is in danger of being tested...

Agree on lightening it up, have carbon fork, carbon bars, lightweight tubes (very significant), drilling begins this weekend though an engine re-build may have priority : (
