i was wondering what that was about.. maybe those wheels can be used front and rear? because the spacing is different?

I think it is the same spacing front and rear, so you can have a different gearing on the two wheels.

From the surly website

Fork: Suspension-corrected (100mm travel). 447mm axle to crown, tapered straight blade, 4130 CroMoly. 51mm IS REAR disc mount. 135mm-spaced dropouts, 17.5mm offset

Pugs have 135mm spacing front and rear so you can use normal MTB rear hubs at both ends.

Different gearings, geared/SS, spare rear on the front etc etc.

No chance is that anti

you're trolling right?

No

The front wheel can be used to ride fixed?

It's a bail out option in case your brakes and hub gear freeze up

Might be a repost, i'm not sure...

it is, but dont worry will not be the last time someone posted it

Sprocket in front and a carrier... must be for a small engine :D

Sorry. I haven't seen it before. Came across the picture then started reading about [ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gintautas_Umaras[/ame] riding it.

is it a repost,
nice suit though

Not a suit.

Want that jacket!

But what is the gear stick on the down tube for? I don't see any derailleurs or gears? Am I being dim?

It was a specially designed paint-switch. it's currently on red, if you push it forward, the frame goes blue. Obviously, red is the faster gear.

The Colnago Concept was a radical new idea that failed largely because it was too heavy. The bike was developed with help from Enzo Ferrari. Its various innovations included three spoke carbon wheels, hydraulic brakes, and of course the transmission. The transmission was contained just below the teeth of the chain ring. "The transmission was enclosed in a light alloy chain guard shaped to fit closely around the chain rings. From the outside the chain guard didn't rotate at the same speed as the pedal spindle as the gear ratios were obtained from a series of smaller cogs contained within the chain guard.

.

It was a micro water bottle. Despite holding 5000 litres of freeze-dried drinking water, they never caught on.

@MG - you can run ss/cassette on the freehub side, and fixed bolt on cog on one of the disk sides. don't know if the chainline would be out, suppose not if you set it up for straight with the fixed, as you have massive adjustment on the freehub side.

nice suit though

Looks like something Mr Bean would wear.

Those fat tyred atrocities really don't look like fun to ride to me. They look like they'd be fun to see, then to ride for the first minute, then a complete chore once you start to notice the weight of the wheels.
I have no experience with them of course, but are they better to ride on snow compared to a normal MTB tyre with really really low pressure?
