Fat Bikes / Fatbikes

Cool. Get it built. Maybe looking at pics of yours will be enough to scratch the itch and I won't have to spend another £2k on another bike I don't need.

You'll probably buy one before I do, not exactly a high priority. I have pretty much everything I need except the frame and tyres, but I also have plenty of ways to spend that £800 higher up my bike wish list.

Want.

My thread, my rules. 3" and up is Fat.

This mornings commute :-D

You are such a lucky bastard.

Still re-learning front sus use, after a decade of fully rigid. I'm riding on the pavement. Becuse its empty, I dont trust cars in this weather, and frankly I'm not going very fast. The snow ploughs spray lumps of old hardened snow all over the paths. So its an insanely bumpy journey. The lefty has amazing small bump compliance. But while it takes a lot of the work out of keeping the front end planted. It still requires you to weight it correctly to work.

Old dogs, and new tricks and all.

Dear Father Xmas

I want snow when my work for the year finishes, so I can go and play on my fat bike.

Dancing James (age 39)

Dear Father Xmas,

Make sure James is snowed in that he can't get out of the house.

Ed (age 28, I think).

It better fucking snow.
It won't before January, at least.

Dear Father Xmas,

Ignore James' request, send them to H's way.

Ed (definitely age 28).

Well its meant to be 12C + later this week. Which means 4 foot of snow fall turning to water all over the fecking place.

Dear Father Xmas,

Stop snowing Slowfurry in,

Ed (28 fo' sho').

Didn't know whether to put this in porn or anti, so thought I'd play it safe and leave it here.

Dear Father Christmas, Please fix it so James is significantly older than me, and not just 2 years. Lots of love, Alkali aged 37 ish.

Dear Father Xmas

dj (39 and a bit, but the bit is sooooo important)

And that's why I wish I could weld/braze.

this is pretty rad

full set

Nates just look so agressive

I went out on my MTB today for a 20 mile bridle way slog. On 3 occasions its pathetic 2.5 inch tyres sank spoke-deep into the mud and I came to a halt.

In my mind a fat bike would have floated over the top and I wouldn't now have trench foot.

So I needs one.

so this is apparently Mike Curiak's bike used for the 'iditarod'

the pipe work on the trailer was apparently for carrying fuel for a camping stove, but i cant actually find a proper article on the bike so who knows!

either way, super cool!
