Fatty needs a bike

Dear Anon,

I'm buying a bike and I need something affordable around 100-300 dollar range.

I was thinking pic-related, but I wanted anon's opinion first.

Tips?

The only decent bikes in that range are used.

What are you looking to do on your bike? If you're looking for something versatile, forget fat bikes.

Aside from finding one used, this is the closest thing to a decent fat bike you'll find at that price:

Why are you set on a fat bike in the first place though?

If it's because he's fat, I'm fat too, and I do fine on a 'cross bike with 700x35s (or 28s on the road on good pavement but I prefer 32 for bad pavement)

m'nigger! I'm not particularly super heavy, but I run 37c minimum on my cross-check. Why not?

I was just saying what I can get away with, I usually like somewhat fatter tires. Got 40s on my CC right now, 35s on the commuter, 2.1s on the mountain bike but I'd run 2.3s if I had the chainstay clearance.

Easier said than done, especially if you're postponing the purchase of fitness equipment until you're thin.

>Buy cheap 10speed bike from Wal-Mart
Never buy a bike at Wal-Mart or any other department store if you plan on actually riding it. They know they'll never be ridden more than 5 times before they're hung up in the garage, so they're only made to last ~100 miles. Plus they're put together by Wal-Mart associates so you have to reassemble them to make sure they did it right.

Look at this fat asshole being a faggot that would rather complain about how achievements are to get than support easy life changes based on the "do shit with cheap equipment and if you find out you like it sell the cheap equipment and get something better when you need it" principle. Thanks for nothing man, enjoy the doritos.

I'm just stating a fact. I've gained and lost weight, and once it's on it's not so easy to lose even though I've always been pretty active (the theory is simple but the practice is different). You'll no doubt learn that when you grow up and your teenage metabolism slows down. >>460217 reads like it's suggesting losing weight first, so you don't break a shitty bike, which is just silly.

The cheap equipment in this case is shoddy garbage, it isn't even entry level, it's the equivalent of this "axe" and will only make someone think they hate cycling. If you want a cheap but decent bike you go to Craigslist, you don't go to mall-wart.
