Messaged this seller as I am interested in a fat bike for Canadian winters. I already have road/gravel/mountain bike(s) and just want some feedback on this model.

The Yukon is a highly rated frame from what I understand. The complication is that it’s a custom build so do those upgrades match your desires? The seller is hoping they do and is costing them in. I like the rigid forks, personally on a fat bike. I like stock bikes.
Mechanic here.
What’s the price they’re asking for? Generally recommend stearing away from used bikes unless your checking the chain wear, drivetrain wear etc. Lots of people buy used bikes at a reduced price then end up having to put more money into it after a chain snaps and an entire drivetrain needs to get replaced.
Best new value I know about is bikes direct motobecane. Similar components but all the parts are new.

I like the stock rigid fork. A suspension fork is nice during the summer but I think it changes the geometry of the frame somewhat.
The stock fork has quite a bit of offset.
