On the days that you are 5 10 the medium will fit and on the days you are 5 11 a large will fit.

Screw the number's, just try it. I'm about the same height as you, and depending on the bike, can ride anywhere from a 16" to 19", but 17.5 to 18 seems to fit best. My on one was a 16", my rocky is 19"...I have no problems riding either.

Hey stop trying to talk me out of a snow blower

Everyone has a budget. I don’t go to a gym so I see my bikes as an alternative to a gym membership. We are over 11000 posts so I lost track. What is wrong with your current bike(besides the fork)?

New bike? I want a fat for the snow but I also want something with a 29 27+ ability for fun

Whats the backup plan?

Full squish or hardtail?
if your budget is tight get the 27.5+ to start with and go from there, it works fine in most of the snow we get around here, and is still fun to ride all year round.

I compared a 3” (Ibis Mojo) plus bike to my 4.7” snow tire specific fat bike under the same conditions(alternated bikes during the same ride) last winter and did not find much of a difference. I put most of my miles in during winter due to the BIYF contest so have a good feel for different types of snow. Maybe under extreme conditions the fat bike is better but I’m not sold. Don’t get me wrong, I like my fat bike but I would have been just as happy with a plus bike for most winter riding. Now I wait for a die hard fat bike owner to tell me why I am wrong...

There's still 3" of snow on my front lawn so I would say a no go. I'll do a recon in a bit.

Edit: Judging by the comments it’s not likely to happen.
I’m down to ride somewhere though. I just don’t have the time to drive too far

If that's the case I'll wait it out so I can get the bike I want. I really want a stumpy since I should be able to get 27+ in there since @Mathers has 3in 29ers right now

Really putting it in perspective for me I saw that Farley and saw a lot of bike for the money but I don't want over lapping purpose in my stable. If a + does a fine job than I spend the money on a good + wheel set for the stumpy
i havent gotten to try my 29+ stache in the snow yet, but ill lyk when i do, if its good enough i may sell my fatboy just so i have less stuff to maintain . . .
