Black Sheep Bikes out of Ft. Collins, Colorado specializes in titanium mountain bikes. They had many on display at the 2013 North American Handmade Bicycle Show<\/a>. The ones that seemed to be getting the most attention were their fat bikes.<\/p>\n

Highlight ST Fatbike<\/h6>\n

The ST in the name means “soft tail”. With 90mm of travel front and rear I think the bike should live up to its name.<\/p>\n

The suspension fork on the front mimics their truss style designs they have offered in the past, but this is the first fully suspended fork with a shock installed. The fork with shock will cost you $2600.<\/p>\n

The bike weighs 32lbs total. Pretty decent for a fat bike with suspension.<\/p>\n
