Specialized fatboy not as phat as described Morgan Hill California
2007 fatboy cruiser.one size fits all adult,easy pedaling,plush,that's it's decription,I say bull.
first off the bike is only ridable by an adult with a change of handlebars. at 1650 bucks why should I have to pay more. change the handlebars and at the slightest upgrade you have to stand up and pedal,easy pedaling,bull. the seat is too wide and it sits hard,so where is the plush. this bike does not come with any cpsc required reflectors,illegal to sell bikes like this isn't it.
I have been told by this company that it is not made for daily riding, so I have actually purchased an overpriced kid's bike for a room decoration. since the dealer has a no return or refund on non stocked bikes and I was foolish to take out a loan for this ,I have to live with it for the next 2 years. these are the dimensions of the bike, the manufacturer couldn't even tell me,they don't know. overall length only 6 ft 4 inches,68 pounds,3 ft from ground to top of fork. the weight is excessive for being an all aluminum bike. funny the dealers stock this companies 5000dollar bikes,but not this one. also the chain tensioner adds an unbarable amount of noise to this best cruiser available.

according to specialized they got around the reflector deal by classified it as a show bike.they made no mention of it over the phone,fenders have primer showing through,they are supposedly being replaced,said it takes 2 months to get them,they are handmade.we'll see.brakes have a problem picking up small stones which jam in the calipers.crank arms catch shoe laces.and the 2008 model is 1000 bucks more???
