@Trail_rat Nice! I love single speed, can't run anything but! I think it's the way the drivetrain feels, super tight and incredibly efficient, nothing comes close to that true SS feel! Even my touring bike (ECR) is single speed (: always considered getting in IGH but damn, I'm broke now! Just built up a semi fat 3" Surly 1x1 with Candy Apple red Marge Lite rims, Maverick SC32s and more wingbars! and I don't know how on earth you've got nates on SC32s, on mine, the end to end gap is just under 4" and that's end to end, no way is nate going to be happy in there! I'm running Rolling Darryls, that may be why?
@tazzymtb awww is that almost a compliment? 😀 I love how awesome the rasta theme looks but then again I'm not a 40 yo man 😀
I used to have a Pugsley Ops but sold that a while ago but I have this on order. Should be with me before crimbo, but in black.

Those Silverbacks are such good value.
Hmmm Im amused by the angst against Fart Bikes In my view any bike that lets you do more is worthy of being a Mountain Bike. These bikes Really can do it all.
I personally don't like 29 ers they ride orrible on the trails I normally ride but each to their own. Oh wait most Fart bikes are 29 by default.
I think that most who run Fat bikes don't take themselves too seriously and them that are vocally angst agin them Take themselves waaaaaaaay toooo seriously. Its all about fun fun fun.
What do you make of the Rose Tusker?
http://www.rosebikes.com/products/bikes/mtb/all-mountain--tour/the-tusker/
Looks nice enough but I would either go super cheap or wait for the full carbon options that are supposed to be on the way for not much more money.
Scoop and Double Scoop looked brilliant at Eurobike..
The single Scoop for £1300 with Blutos and Sram X1 11SPD is nuts.
And the new Salsa Bucksaw Carbon will be about £6,500.... 😯
Saw the Specialized Fatboy Pro at a bike expo.Very nice,but £3500 😯 Not even carbon frame. FFS it's essentially the same as the Single Scoop.Even the base model without Blutos costs more 🙁
Not that I'm buying a fatbike, oh no, but out of curiosity where can you buy a Scoop? Just direct from Germany?

Well that's just a whole load of trouble. Cheers!
😀 Better be quick if you want one. They're due on 10th of Dec, and are 85% taken.
Still running the KramPug 29+ 3" fat (with spare 4" fat wheels)

Been buying old Surly Marge rims (4 of) hubs, cranks, and other bits for the future... getting ready for the coming Zombie Apoclypse... 😉
Couldnt give a toss about the haterz of fat 😆
best bikes for offroad riding around here 😀
Miles of sandy singletrack around here 🙂
Brilliant.
Just when I thought I'd never see a fat bike and want one. Either they fugly and cheap or wrong geometry or clown bike looking or they looked great but were silly money.
... then you show me the Silverback Scoop.
thanks a bunch

Perfect for Sligachan.

Sorry.
No, wait, I'm actually not sorry at all, get one ordered 🙂

Yes, just sent you a message.
Cheers. Just off to lunch, will reply to message in a bit.

Edit - I do not have any tattoos. And I'd much prefer the Boring Black decals that the prototypes had over the Outrageous Orange ones of the production bikes. 😡
Had its first ride out this morning, love it! It's my new mud plugger, the mukluk is now being used for bike packing duties. No more swapping tyres over for rock or mud 🙂

They're on one og carbon bars. Took them off my 29er.
They're great, very comfy and wider, lighter than Mary bars.
Same as you JoeG didn't like the Orange logos so the use of a vinyl cutter and a set of black logos produced 1mm bigger than originals.

Hey thanks Bumper - I'm liking the look of those
They look very much like Salsa Bend's (which I run) but with more rise which is what I'm after
(wondering should I go for the carbon??)
First crunch of ice under the tyres this morning 🙂 Lovely

^^ Brilliant shot - and very much a bike I'm interested in
Have you (super fussy bugger) a shot without the spiky tree and the bike more 'in' the roots?
Different tree, but does this help?

That qualifies 🙂
