no, not fat, more like a long tail touring bike, aiming for an efficient/aero/comfortable touring bike.
26" wheels, 1.5" touring tires
Steel, no rear rack, just frame bags, full mudguards.
aero bars, flat bars, bar ends.
Something for road/path endurance racing/traveling (200km/day 7 days or more in a row)
Why longtail: keep the weight low and inline, won't be doing technical stuff where I like to have control of the rear wheel, which is unliftable with the touring load anyway.
And I'll put my schlumpf crankset on it, Bang tidy!
