Looking at steel fatbike but love e geometry of my On One fatty.
Too early for ICT but what weight would I expect from Blutos equipped Puffin (do the Blutos slacken the head angle)

I have both and love em the Puffin rides a little better than the Fatty IMHO
but its probably subjective and I will never get near the limits of either .

will have to dig out the weights of both or get on the scales again

Bluto`s on the puffin too

Trout
How do you find Puffin better.
Love the stability of the on one at speed and the general handling. Partly due to the slack head angle. Was thinking a puffin with 120mm forks may be the same numbers.
What sizes are the 2 next to each other,
What travel forks are they on puffin
Sorry for all the questions, looked at a puffin some time ago but went for the cheap option of the on one.
Lovin the fat experience and now plan to sell a couple of bikes and build another. (Daughter wants on one)
Thanks

Its not easy to separate em
Both have 100 mm blutos
The Fatty is good but the Puffin seems to be a bit livelier and easier to lift the front end up over stuff.
large Puffin and medium Fatty but both quite similar in size better standover on the Fatty

Be a close call if I could only have one but would choose the Puffin but it would be 49 / 51 in favour
