It's actually doing my head in, which would you go for between the wazoo and dune? All my local halfords are sold out of the wazoo, my nearest wazoo is Glasgow! The fella a halfords said the new ones are will be in stores November time and back up to £500 all because of a colour change!
Fat bike advice please.

Man! Don't do that. Let me explain it why.
FATBIKES ARE FOR SNOW AND SAND! ( I can imagine it in a really really really muddy place. )
That's all. Otherwise. It's a total nonsense!!
I let you know fat bike lovers right now, that years before this fat bike madness started I saw a fatbike in work.
Believe it or not it was in Antarctica. The guy had to pull a sled after himself and it's weight was about 80kgs. He needed the big tyres for that. It made sense and it worked. It was built specially for that advanture.
I don't even know why would anyone buy a fatbike. Especially the ones who live cities..
So forgive me for my style it's all because of my desperation.
It's like buying a car that was designed to go with 400 kph at a race track and someone buys it for a bumpy so called road without asphalt on it... This is the exact same thing when someone buys a fatbike.
So really. Forgive me if it was insulting for any of you.
Re:
yea. exactly!
So don't get me wrong. I don't meant to be rude or anything like that.
I just want good for the cycling community all around the worldand for this guy too.
If he wants to buy something that will make him slower and look like a fool for a few plus kgs that will only make him suffer if he really rides it, then just go ahead.. It's his business.
An other interesting fact is that I didn't see anyone out there on the trails with fat bikes.
When I go to Budapest I see a lot of them going around.
Anyway I know a guy who talks a lot about downhill riding but never does it. Even tho he has a DH bike he only rides it to the work. Which is even funnier is that he uses tyres for MUD
Imagine that. And this is not a joke.

Re:
I get what MooWolf is saying, the only times I've seen fatbikes in real life it's been riding trails where cyclocross tyres would be wider and knobblier than necessary and I think "gee, you like a chump with too much money" but then I have 8 bikes and they're all singlespeed so I can't criticise anyone for an inappropriate choice of equipment!
Ride what you like. (But I do think fatbike stuff is horrendously over priced for what it is).

Well, I ended up buying one and love it, I went for the calibre Dune, I've set about modding it too. I live in the hills and Ive found out it's absolutely great in the deep mud just seems to float right over the top where as my mate on his 27.5 gets stuck in it. Really looking forward to snow now!
