Hi.
Sorry for the crazy late reply.
I live in Norway and 'fatbike' around in the Winter. The local sports shops do some Nice fully rigid fatbikes With 1x drive Chains at reasonable prices. They come up on the local facebook trading site too. I'd og With one of them. But then get a bit spendy on the tyres.
If you shop around £1000 will be doable.
I saw some really nicely specc'd ones at that price on clearance at the end of Winter. But they also roll out the left overs before Winter to Clear them out. Pretty sure my fatbike cost 3 times that, and isnt any better. In fact the fact that I built it when fatbike parts were rare mean, and even 1x drivechains needed slight bodging means a £1k OTP would probably be easier to live With.

Hello Fatties! Cringe Hoping you can help me out with something. Going to be moving to Norway soon sometime mid next year as GF wants to move back closer to her family. Anyway, winter in Norway can be really really thick so I'm thinking of getting a fatbike so I can still cycle during the winter months. Now my question is, do you have any recommendations? Budget wise, maybe no more than £1000. Will it be cheaper to ebay the parts/frame and build it from scratch or just get a full bike brand new?
I'm looking at different websites at the moment but most of the bikes I saw are really expensive. Some are cheap which makes me question why. I dont have any experience with these types of bikes, first fatbike i saw was @JB's.
Thanks!
