I'd start trying to find a Larry now if I were you. (They don't stay in stock for long.) That way you might have one for the 'Puffer.
BTW there is someone running a Larry on a narrower rim, but he hasn't done any significant mileage on it and is using higher pressure to keep it on.
Just bumping this.
There is current discussion about the Singular fatbike on the mtbr forum.

Where at? In the SS Fatbike thread?
I'm a bit confused about all this, is the run of frames this Marty guy is talking about the same as the Puffin which Sam mentioned up there, or are they different frames?
Be interesting to see if the new fat bikes will be designed for the massive big fat larry.
A Larry should work on any width rim but higher pressures will be needed to stop It rolling on narrow ones. I have a 5mm front that works ok.
I doubt you'd get it in any regular fork though. I may have a fat fork for sale soon.

They are two different things entirely. I've spoken to Marty now about calling his frame a Singular, which I'd rather he didn't do as I've had no hand in the design or development of it. Marty is the US distributor for Singulars, and he is trying to make a fat bike which has similar handling to a Swift. It's being built by Peacock Grove bikes, and while it looks like an interesting project it won't be a Singular. The Puffin project is on a slow burn at the moment, I have other stuff to sort out first....
