Thinking pretty seriously about grabbing a fat bike. There seems to be less used ones for sale that I thought there would be.
What would you pick? I want to keep it cheap; I assume the water/snow will quickly wear at parts, chances of falling will greatly increase and maybe cheaper might be slightly stronger for ham fisted trotts through the bush? Trying to find one around the $1000-$1200 mark.
Have discovered these....
2015 Trek Farley 5 - https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/2278364/
Guy said in a PM that he'd take $1400 for it. His user name and pink bike registration date is kind of odd.

Looks ok, other than the rusty bolts. I could my XT brakes on it. In BC, so probably no room to wiggle the price or negotiate shipping. Looks like the best drive train.
Or
Could just go get a new Rocky Mountain Blizzard 10 for $1300ish - http://www.bikes.com/en/bikes/blizzard/2018
Norco Bigfoot 2 for $1100ish - http://m.norco.com/bikes/mountain/fat-bikes/bigfoot/bigfoot-2/ fuckin ugly duck and questionable tires though.
Kill list?
