Everyone interested tried it for them selves and realised it wasn't some magic bullet.

Killed it so dead that Salsa, Surly, 9Zero7 and all the other originals are still at it. Loads of other mainstream brands have come and gone as well. I recall John had an On One Fatty.

Their on one Fatties flooded (no pun intended) the fat bike market and killed it dead.

Yet Giant have announced fat bikes, so perhaps the market isn’t dead

Yeah but he's no longer special .... Definition of a dead niche innit

I probably wouldn't buy a packraft from px nope.

I had an inbred back in the day. It was all I could afford at the time and it was a bike I enjoyed a lot.
I've also had a road bike from them quite a while ago, the quality wasn't great. Nothing terrible but nothing quite right.

Only other thing I've bought recently are some bib longs. Again quality isn't great and I don't think they'll last long.

For me that lack of quality means there's always the feeling that thier kit will give up on me so I'll not be buying anything else from them.

Just like Surly, though the price is quite different.

If you want a packraft, get one from Packrafting.de or Alpacka. From a place that has proven experience.

Just buying something for the sake of a cheap deal seems quite wrong to me for many reasons. Plus, they don't even have one yet...

Giant has jumped on the bandwagon too.
Specialised makes a s-works Fatboy, Trek has a full blown set of options to choose from.
Not that many have actually gone, much more have come. Best of all, the fatbikes have matured into good bikes. If anything, I think On-One has helped here.
