Not known for 'shouting' about cycle companies who don't produce the goods, I am nonetheless loving the line and style of Phat bikes.
We believe the fabulous style is more to do with ergonomics, but whatever was behind the classic shape, we think it is a scene stealer. This white Sea Wind ladies cruiser is begging to be ridden on Queenlands Gold Coast. The retro aesthetics, and the cool colour options scream class. Don't be fooled by the candy pink rims though, this bike has front caliper brakes, alloy rims, and bold black tyres.
Phat appear to be at the top of their game, and despite the fact they are Made in the USA they are available in Australia if you do your homework.
This aqua gem is also available in Australia (with a little searching) and once again is clearly designed with the beach going lady in mind. Who wouldn't want the newest of Phats' incredible range.
Take a bow Phat! This is what was needed.
I personally would avoid Phat. My experience has shown that they are particularly susceptible to rust. We have a Phat "Melodie" that is one year old. It has always been stored under cover and has not been ridden near the beach. Rust has bubbled under the paint on the wheels and frame. If this happens to you, you will get absolutely nil support from the distributors. Fortunately my local dealer was so shocked by the faulty bike that he cheerfully replaced the bike with a different brand and vowed never to stock Phat again.
