That bike looks epic. If you have any problem indexing the SRAM NX derailleur it's apparently a common problem with a single gear in the middle of the cassette ticking. I bent mine on a ride so paid the extra few $ to get the GX derailleur and the shifting difference is quite a noticeable improvement and I have not had a problem or a tick since. Just FYI.

Regards mate.. yes i would of preferred the GX Eagle and the other bike i was looking at had it and the bluto shox but at nearly 2k more and
without a carbon frame ,the choice was a no brainer for me.

Sourcing bikes was murder in OZ, truly,,, what i found,,, some bike shops must be struggling.
i believe anyone in business in this age that can't acknowledge with a smile or a positive approach is either hurting or
just a grumpy ****.
i found walls everywhere. yes fat bike sales have dropped or probably never really peaked here
so demand is low. some Big companies like Giant Scott and Trek also they have local shops here all have stopped fat models in OZ.
others like Surly Rocky mountains Cannondale Norco and others have very limited or zero stock. yes phoned & walked into shops spoke with people that once realised a sale couldn't happen i was dropped. Buy Australian help Australian jobs PFffffffttttttt
so i went to Canyon great name in bikes great reviews with a setup that stops the middleman (some Grumpy pricks)
straight from Germany to you with a Canyon service centre in Australia.
i wish i could of purchased one made in OZ or an Oz sale but that was never happening at a competitive price.
+ I've learnt that there is another sad occupation in Australia other than a Post office owner and Caravan park owner.

You could have stopped the Queenslander reno and built your own fat bike.
Actually you could have built us all fat bikes in that time

it will do a lot of beach sand riding. hence the all carbon frame and fork i figure an easier fight with saltwater affects.
im pretty lucky here as bikes are aloud on the beaches. with Klm of wide flat hard sand,,the affects from our bigger tides.


This has done 10k kms, had since 2013. Heaps of sand work. A good low pressure rinse and dry keeps in reasonable nick.
Squirt lubricant is really good as it is wax based, not oil. Sand does not stick to the drivetrain . Great fun bikes.

The comical thing about Harley riders is the average schmos who do the whole dress up as a lookalike outlaw badass 1%er biker look replete with the scary skull face bandana and half helmet! If they ever got into a scuffle the onlookers would be calling them an ambulance rather than the cops.
