My FatBike weighs 37lbs, but that's with basic nates, 2x20, rear rack etc. Wouldn't mind putting it on a diet...

Nope.
True,
My Mukluk mark one 3 x 9 weighs in around 34lbs.
2 months away from my 1 x 10 Ti frame carbon forked 100mm rim front and back monster truck arrives.
I'm hoping it's going to be around 28lbs.
Helium in the tyres help a bit

Or
My fatbike ways 35lbs and I wouldn't mind going on a diet!

LOVE my fatbike i see it as a great aid for fitness as its defo harder but also like Ian said near the start of thread it goes anywhere and over most things with ease. The wheel and tyre on mine are actually bigger profile than a 29er by about an inch taller. Stu, buy one ul like it. Buy second hand if you can find one its loads cheaper-saying this theres not many about for sale i think i fell lucky on ebay.

I've got one ... it's brand new, living in boxes in the workshop and has been since the start of Dec. I suppose I should muster the enthusiasm to piece it together at some point

It took me over a year to build my Fireline. Only one ride so far but it was very nice ;-)
I admit to being FB- curious, however, I'm unconvinced by the weight and expense of some of the "unique" bits. Besides, I'm still hanging on for the Rooster

On-One Fatty Dave, it's quite doubtful that it'll ever become a 'proper' fat bike, much more likely to become 650b+ as soon as rims / tyres hit these shores.

Interesting. Should work out quite fun then I'd guess.
I've just landed a fatbike F+F. Not 100% convinced on sizing though yet. Also, don't have any wheels or cranks for it. So it'll be a while before mines ready too.
Unless I sell it to get the one I actually wanted,
