Well, I was going to wait a couple months and buy a Dawn 2 frame as my tax return splurge, but as I was looking at alternate Felt Faker frames I saw Phatmoto had a preorder sale for $799 and after seeing it has everything I wanted- big hydraulic brakes, fat tires, suspension fork, 7 speeds, in a moment if insanity (something I'm known for) I pre-ordered it in green.
I already have my hyper with an Avenger 85, a little rocket, I love it, but I am completely afraid of chain lock-ups, and brakes that are inadequate to stop my big meaty 300lbs butt and a solid fork I know I will fold if I hit a bump- I can and will address all of this in time, and getting a second bike will allow me to enjoy modding my hyper rather than rushing to finish it so I can ride.
So I know it'll be slow and I know I'll get a GC190 to get it up to 2 stroke speeds, but at least I can enjoy it with peace of mind I'm not going to wipe out at 40+MPH, I'm a mechanic, I can't break bones!
Is there anyone here going to pick up a 24' Phatmoto AT?
