Just a wild guess but is it a bike?

Is it over priced and probably not as good as a carbon equivalent?

Needs bigger wheels. Are Surly going to make a 36+ tyre for it?

the forks say "Rohan" and it was outside the Rohan shop in Stonegate so maybe the owner is connected?

Isn't there a video somewhere, of someone riding one up some steps? In NZ, possibly...

I'd tried yourspokes to find a clue. There is a video - milltown cycles I think - and there's one of a 36er all terrain unicycle somewhere. Ultimate rigid singlespeed.

Two questions:

1. Why would someone build a 36er with a child size frame?

2. Have you ridden up stairs yet?

Wow. What a video. Someone riding a bike with stupid big wheels up some steps. Breathtaking. Watch out Danny Macaskill ๐Ÿ˜

what a ridiculous thing to say.. ๐Ÿ™„

some people on here are simply astonishing.. it's nothing like that at all..

it clearly looks uglier than a pitbull licking piss off a stinging nettle..

Dylan, have you actually taken this thing off road yet? I recall the last time I saw it, it was raw and running 1x9.

I've actually had a ride of this thing outside my old shop, and it's pretty interesting: Builds up a hell of a speed once you're rolling, though cornering feels a bit like dive bombing in a WWII plane. Because of the size of the wheels it's a monster to get going, but I imagine it'd be a great gravity sled! Though I can't say I'd want to ride it through a forest personally.
