Apart from dabbling in the retro "scene" I almost exclusively ride 29ers.
They make sense to me but this isn't a wheel size thread 😆
For a long time I have wanted one of these:

A simple 26'' Surly 1x1 - With Dirt Wizards
I have no need for it but it really appeals.
Any others suffer from these odd cravings?

Might have one built before my Puffin too 😉
Some serious cravings here for a fat bike....no real purpose for it as I don't A) ride in the snow (and don't intend to) or B) live beside a beach. But I still can't get that Mukluk or Cooker Maxi out of my head....think it will end up happening sooner or later!
That 1x1 looks nice.
I wonder if the WTB 27+ size will take off (semi-fat in a normal 29er frame...).

I had one of those a few years back. It rode really nicely especially around Thetford and the environs. The problem came when I decided 34:15 was a good ratio. I hated it, persevered and then sold it. I could easily have changed the gearing but life had moved on by then and after many years of riding a SS I decided I needed to give gears a try again.
I kind of miss it....and then again I don't.

Mine is somewhat scruffier (but it is a 1998 model 🙂 )

The extra volume of the Dirt Wizards makes for a really nice ride for a rigid bike, and the grip is confidence inspiring. It's good enough for me to be using it as my default summer bike while a couple of nice 29ers sit unused.

Had that one nearly 10 years, had another for a few years before that. Still pretty much my favourite bike 🙂
Mine currently is a Fireline 29... I sooooo badly want one of them
Almost as much as I want a Yelli Screamy.
However, more than both, I want my house sold and one with a garage purchased.
