Bluedakati where did you get your fork? And how much did it cost??  I have a Marzocci Bomber on my Ip-036 and want to get one similar for my LTK 023.
Thanks!
Andy :-)

Wow, good to hear. I'm deciding between an IP-057 and a fat bike, and leaning towards the 057 because I have almost all the parts already, and the fatbike build would get pricey with frameset, wheels, and tires. Would suck to spend the money, build it up and then have the same experience as you!

Yes, that's another thing I don't like about the fat bikes, everything is proprietary requiring wider bottom brackets, wider hubs, forks, rims, etc.  So can't use any of the piles of parts I've accumulated over the years.  Get the 057 or if you can get up the scratch go for the Ip 036 full squish....awesome bike!

SN just gotta tell you.  I highly recommend riding a fat bike before you order one.  We got one in our shop the other day.  Granted it was aluminum frame.  The brand was "Framed" and it had nice componentry.  I thought it was gonna be a hoot to ride.  Dude I hated it.  It was just awful.  Played with all kinds of psi and everything.  It took at least 30% more effort to propel.  Climbed horribly and with no suspension bounced you all over the place,  But the worst part was the handling.  It had so much rolling gyroscopic effect it didn't want to corner so you really have to manhandle it to turn.  Then the squishiness of the tire kinda felt like you were riding on flat tires in the corners.  I was to say the least completely unimpressed. 

I am kinda interested in the mid-fat concept.  Using 27.5 wide rims with 2.8 tires in a 29er frame.   But gotta ride one first before investing any money into converting my fully rigid LTK 023.  Learned that by riding the fat bike....yuck!  :)

Andy! We were depending on you to be the first 27.5 build on Chinertown! :D

My bad SN.  :). Alas, I am simply a 29 devotee.  And my ip-036 fit me so perfect and rode so incredible I was just smitten.  The bike is truly awesome!

hi Snipe,

I wound up selling the 27.5 frame before It got built.  I built the ip036 full squish 29er and I fell in love with it so decided to just keep that along with my carbon 29 hard tail.  Sorry I couldn't be more help.  good luck in your search.
Andy. :)

Even if it costs a bit more, whatever you do order from Peter at XMIPLay.  Great service, great product.  I can't say enough about him.  Highly recommended.
