Inspired by the various threads on Fat bikes on here of late, this has just been born

delivered by Tim at Sideways Cycles

mix of old and new stuff

3.7 up front, 3.0 out back

plans in work to cross Morecombe Bay (if possible, anyone know ? ) ride out to Holy Island, and lots of other coastal stuff to come

unless of course it snows again this winter ๐Ÿ™‚

Looking good.

front wheel rim is a unicycle rim, I don't know what make, bought the wheel and tyre from a friend, looks to be about 55mm wide and lots of spokes !, rear is a Halo rim, 45mm (ish) plenty of room at the rear for the Duro tyre, and most surprising is the weight, about 28lbs I reckon

unfortunately it'll be a few weeks before it gets ridden properly due to a bars/ribs exchange last Sunday
