Think you're hard 'cause you took your hardtail to the lakes instead of a full-sus that one time?
Here's a nice wee article about the Klondike Wheelmen - Bikes of the Klondike Gold Rush

There’s a transcript of Hirschberg writing about his ride on page 5 of this issue of the Fat Tyre Flyer for any that want a bit more info… Fat Tyre Flyer issue 27

While their tires look comically narrow to us today, less than an inch and a half wide

That's wider than the tyres I use on Cambridgeshire's roads, which I suspect are more of a mess than anything they would have faced.

a fur nosepiece

Where can I get one of these from?
