I once left a CSI-style imprint of two people on a rug like that.

I have come to the conclusion that the majority of fatbike owners have the colour coordination skills of a clown with a colour vision disorder. Just because riding a fat bike makes you feel like you're 6 doesn't mean you need to make it look like an 80's abortion of clashing filth. All that's missing is some spokey dokeys, a playing card in spokes and one of those yellow loud halers that used to make police siren noises and machinegun sounds.

So, no fence / arsecrack interface ambiguities there then ..

Trailrat is that a rohloff? And those cables look gorgeous haha 😀

tis indeed a rohloff....

after years of punting it round bikes i think ive finally found a bike it suits.

but then i was always sticking it on ultra light XC builds and wondering why it killed the spirit of the bike.,... id stick an SS rear wheel in and the bike was transformed.... rohloff never went back on.

the fatty likes the rohloff though.

But officer friendly, yours has a colour scheme and some thought so I have no issues with that, not my taste but it doesn't set my death kill maim alarms off

hey - officerfriendly ... the year 2000 called they want their setlaz sofa back 😀

that is a blast from the past ! i had one of them in blue on a b17 !

Another Puffin.

I've a dinner plate sized sprocket, clutch mech combo to try at some point but the flatlands of Suffolk don't really demand such a range 😳

Off to order a Bud now .....

I've got a Hope T Rex on the back of mine with a oneup Rad cage on xt mech it's built up from the rolling chassis kit with the normal saddle (it's not a bad saddle actually) wide bars and short stem from OO.

@Trail_rat Nice! I love single speed, can't run anything but! I think it's the way the drivetrain feels, super tight and incredibly efficient, nothing comes close to that true SS feel! Even my touring bike (ECR) is single speed (: always considered getting in IGH but damn, I'm broke now! Just built up a semi fat 3" Surly 1x1 with Candy Apple red Marge Lite rims, Maverick SC32s and more wingbars! and I don't know how on earth you've got nates on SC32s, on mine, the end to end gap is just under 4" and that's end to end, no way is nate going to be happy in there! I'm running Rolling Darryls, that may be why?

@tazzymtb awww is that almost a compliment? 😀 I love how awesome the rasta theme looks but then again I'm not a 40 yo man 😀

I used to have a Pugsley Ops but sold that a while ago but I have this on order. Should be with me before crimbo, but in black.

Those Silverbacks are such good value.

Hmmm Im amused by the angst against Fart Bikes In my view any bike that lets you do more is worthy of being a Mountain Bike. These bikes Really can do it all.

I personally don't like 29 ers they ride orrible on the trails I normally ride but each to their own. Oh wait most Fart bikes are 29 by default.

I think that most who run Fat bikes don't take themselves too seriously and them that are vocally angst agin them Take themselves waaaaaaaay toooo seriously. Its all about fun fun fun.

What do you make of the Rose Tusker?
http://www.rosebikes.com/products/bikes/mtb/all-mountain--tour/the-tusker/

Looks nice enough but I would either go super cheap or wait for the full carbon options that are supposed to be on the way for not much more money.

Scoop and Double Scoop looked brilliant at Eurobike..

The single Scoop for £1300 with Blutos and Sram X1 11SPD is nuts.

And the new Salsa Bucksaw Carbon will be about £6,500.... 😯

Saw the Specialized Fatboy Pro at a bike expo.Very nice,but £3500 😯 Not even carbon frame. FFS it's essentially the same as the Single Scoop.Even the base model without Blutos costs more 🙁

Not that I'm buying a fatbike, oh no, but out of curiosity where can you buy a Scoop? Just direct from Germany?

Well that's just a whole load of trouble. Cheers!

😀 Better be quick if you want one. They're due on 10th of Dec, and are 85% taken.

Still running the KramPug 29+ 3" fat (with spare 4" fat wheels)

Been buying old Surly Marge rims (4 of) hubs, cranks, and other bits for the future... getting ready for the coming Zombie Apoclypse... 😉

Couldnt give a toss about the haterz of fat 😆
best bikes for offroad riding around here 😀

Miles of sandy singletrack around here 🙂

Brilliant.

Just when I thought I'd never see a fat bike and want one. Either they fugly and cheap or wrong geometry or clown bike looking or they looked great but were silly money.

... then you show me the Silverback Scoop.

thanks a bunch

[img] [/img]

Perfect for Sligachan.

... then you show me the Silverback Scoop.

Sorry.

No, wait, I'm actually not sorry at all, get one ordered 🙂

Have you still got the Mukluk for sale? I asked on the ad on uk fat bike forum.

Yes, just sent you a message.

Cheers. Just off to lunch, will reply to message in a bit.

Mine after today's ride 😀

[img] [/img]

Edit - I do not have any tattoos. And I'd much prefer the Boring Black decals that the prototypes had over the Outrageous Orange ones of the production bikes. 😡

Had its first ride out this morning, love it! It's my new mud plugger, the mukluk is now being used for bike packing duties. No more swapping tyres over for rock or mud 🙂

What bars have you got on there bumper?

Looking good btw

They're on one og carbon bars. Took them off my 29er.

They're great, very comfy and wider, lighter than Mary bars.

Same as you JoeG didn't like the Orange logos so the use of a vinyl cutter and a set of black logos produced 1mm bigger than originals.

Cool - have you a shot showing the bars better, cheers

I'll get a pic later today.

Here you go bonesetter. Shot above with the sweep and side view of rise.

Hey thanks Bumper - I'm liking the look of those

They look very much like Salsa Bend's (which I run) but with more rise which is what I'm after

(wondering should I go for the carbon??)

First crunch of ice under the tyres this morning 🙂 Lovely

^^ Brilliant shot - and very much a bike I'm interested in

Have you (super fussy bugger) a shot without the spiky tree and the bike more 'in' the roots?

Different tree, but does this help?

That qualifies 🙂

Nae krampus pics yet soz 🙂

And I'd much prefer the Boring Black decals that the prototypes had over the Outrageous Orange ones of the production bikes.

That's the way to rub it in bgrunes! 😡 You too, stumpytrek! 😡

The bike rides well enough that I put up with it. 😕

Here's my post operative treat to incentivize me back out again...

What frame is that Tim?

What frame is that Tim?

It's a 9:ZERO:7 Whiteout Carbon. I've got a set of 29+ wheels for it too, but can't be arsed fitting the tyres today.

Will do one day. Not soon though 😉

Picked this up from a forum member last weekend;

[img] [/img]

Most of the running gear has been upgraded from the stock On-One stuff and all I have left to do is start cutting holes in the rims!

Personally I love the orange but I think that puts me in a minority, Lol.

Anyone know when the Canyon Dude is going to be available? £1800ish delivered for a carbon frame and fork, nice wheels and decent spec.

[quote=paulevans ]Anyone know when the Canyon Dude is going to be available? £1800ish delivered for a carbon frame and fork, nice wheels and decent spec.
Currently scheduled for June 2015 I believe.

Just checked - Smalls in April, Medium/Large in June (that's the top-end model). May (Sml) and June (Med/Lge) for the cheapest one

Thanks Scotroutes. Not going to be able to put off this itch 'till then. Will have a look at the Specialized Fatboy early in the new year (hopefully), although LBS (Ghyllside Cycles) have a very nice new Charge Cooker Maxi in black for £850 which seems very good VFM.

Hi rOcKeTdOg what's the mud guard you've fitted ..mudhugger? Size? Cheers

Rode my mates specialized fat boy today loved it ,bit out of my budget at the moment so I have been looking at the on one fatty or the genesis caribou not sure which to go for at the moment will a 170mm back end v 190mm be a problem?

Hi rOcKeTdOg what's the mud guard you've fitted ..mudhugger? Size? Cheers

rear is a standard 29er rear mudhugger hairdyered to fit, front is a prototype we are testing atm works really well, compare with & without here
[img] [/img]
needs a forward extension to stop "fling back" and we have a mod to try to solve that. it's rock steady off road too

Thanks that front looks spot on.

first fat bike ride today on a pugsley I built from a rolling chassis. Really liked it, but canny see me sticking with 2 nates! good training though!.

Keep me in mind if u flog the nates

Chrisylad24 - is that Mr T? Have you seen the Charge Cooker Maxi at Ghyllside Cycles. Nice bike for £850.

[quote=Nobeerinthefridge ]first fat bike ride today on a pugsley I built from a rolling chassis. Really liked it, but canny see me sticking with 2 nates! good training though!.
After a big, slidey off today, I'll be fitting Nates before I venture out on mine again.

That's an attractive bike. I especially like the way it says 'rude' on the fork.

Hi thanks for the reply Paul no not Mr T but I will take a look at the charge I am in the Midlands not far from rocket dog I believe so far in the flesh I have looked at the kona wo the caribou and the specialized will try to find a charge to look at locally thanks again

Bache bros in Lye cross have a genesis Caribou, I tried it a couple of weeks ago

Yes RD went in yesterday can i ask why you chose the on one in the end please

Mostly the £, I got a 20% off code. The fatty does ride trails well though with non of the floppy steering the Kona & Genesis had. Whether that means it'll be compromised in snow remains to be seen

Ok thanks for that the fatboy i rode yesterday felt very stable if anything i was suprised just how well it rode ,i have looked at the on one aswell and as it will be mainly used round kinver and wyre i like the sound of the geo on the on one just gotta get xmas out the way now cheers
