Wish it was easy to get one here in the States.

[Andy FitzGibbon]

I got mine easily enough- just a wire transfer to Belgium away.

I had no problem receiving my Sandman in MN.
Sandman is a great company to deal with and builds awesome bikes!

I have a Moonlander as well.

Just a another arrow in the quiver depending on where I’m going and the conditions.

Any inherent or distinguishing characteristics of the Sandman Gobi that make it more or less desirable than an aluminum Fatback?

[Andy FitzGibbon]

Depends which Gobi you are talking about. Current production frames are Ti. Early ones (like mine) are hydroformed and butted aluminum. My frame weighs just under 4 lbs (for a medium). I'm not sure how that compares to the Fatback.

In fact there are 4 current models, two alu, one ti and a tandem. In 2013 there will be 5: two redesigned alu's, one cromo, one ti and the tandem.
But the biggest difference is that a Sandman is a trailbike, which by coincidence can ride on snow. Not the other way around :-). All frames and geometry are designed for front suspension.

When are the new models going to be out, still itching for a Hoggar.

You might be in luck, I think the only model that's not going to change is the Hoggar . It will get a somewhat different spec sheet though (and be more expensive). So if you want a 2012 spec & price, better drop them a line soon. The other models will arrive early spring.
