New Walmart Fat Tire Bike coming in a couple weeks

[A.S.BOLTNUT]

I was hoping it was a Cruiser type frame

Check out the 20" model that is supposed to be in the $250 price range.

Funny...just posted that photo on the previous page.

Depending on the size...I can totally see the 20" version being more popular with this crowd.

Just imagine a set of black ape hangers, a tall laid back seat post or banana seat.

Also, I would guess that the 20" version might be less cumbersome and easy to goof around on.

Will be interesting to see what the tires look like.

That's funny that we posted the same photo. I must have been reading the MTBR thread as you posted yours.

We need to talk Jerald into making 20x4 and 26x4 Sulky Slicks!!!

A squared off FAT slick would be sooooo cool

Correct me if I am wrong, but it looks like the tires on the 20" version are almost slicks?

Luke.

Yes the look like rounded slicks with a few wiggly grooves in them.

I think someone from Mongoose must have seen Yoot's Sand Rover.

What to do... what to do...

 

[kingfish254]

I wonder if there is enough tire clearance on the 20" to throw some Harley tires on the rims?

 

[LukeTheJoker]

I don't know, but I can see them 20" bikes getting modded into the coolest burritos, café racers, stretches...

Luke.

I'm glad I waited I had a hunch this would happen.

Or a salt flat racer ..Im thinking big rear wheel 20 inch front stretch slanted frame drag bike ..

I'm digging that 20". It will be interesting to see if the wheel color really is chromium yellow like it appears in the pic.

 

[kingfish254]

That frame looks like it would lend itself well to a flipped gender bender build if you used some Beast forks on it.

 

[Jaxon]

Throw a Manta Ray banana seat on it with a sissy bar. Some apes and your done. These are going to be fun to play with.

 

[Rat Rod]

The question will be whether the frames are steel again or aluminum this time. Aluminum would mess up the frame customizing fun, but the weight reduction would be a big plus.

 

[Tater]

Judging from the tiny welds on the frame in the pic, it looks as if the frames are steel.

 

[blown240]

I would be shocked if they are aluminum. I'm still surprised they are only going to be $300 for the 26". Seems like gears and brakes would add more than $100.

Maybe I missed it, but has an on sale date been established yet?
