  • Still a good idea to pick and mix stuff.

    My Fatbike is designed to have the off-road handling characteristics of a Pugsly, while having the fit of a small Mukluk (+ its suspension corrected fork), and the stability of a Fatback.

    I basically took the bits from each that I liked. Made a V1 on paper. Then blended the aspects together better for a V2. Now I've ironed out technical details and issues for a V3. As its currently being weilded. I hope that the reality will somehow match the theory. Ultimatly its down to the bike pixies now though.

    For you I'd take my favourate agressive CX bike, alter the tube lengths according to a commuter CX for utility, and add the fit of say, your road bike. Thats V1. Which'll be a mess. play with this on bikecad untill you reach V2. Send this to a builder as a rough idea, and they'll tune it to V3

    and then probably find you have something like a lynskey cooper cx frame
