Roamer update #5 Build and geometry

I get a lot of questions about the geometry on the Roamer so here is the build and numbers.

 

My idea about this frame was to get a bit more fun and aggressive fat bike. It´s basically an all mountain hardtail with 4.6″ tires. Ready to fit a 120 mm suspension fork up front for summer and rigid steel fork with anyting-cage mounts for winter bikepacking.

BTR makes the best hardtails in the world so they were the obvious choice for this bike.

I gave Tam my requests and he did the design with a little input from me regarding the fat bike specifics.

Since i ride it like a mountain bike in the summer i went for 100 mm bottombracket and 177 mm rear spacing. It fit 4.6″ tires (maybe 4.8″) on 80 mm rims. I´ve been running Dunder/Flowbeist from 45nrth and never felt i needed wider. And i ride snow for 7 months a year and plenty of beaches in the summer. Also 177 rear and 100 bb make it more like a regular mountainbike.
