Most of the running gear has been upgraded from the stock On-One stuff and all I have left to do is start cutting holes in the rims!
Personally I love the orange but I think that puts me in a minority, Lol.
Here's my post operative treat to incentivize me back out again...

Anyone know when the Canyon Dude is going to be available? £1800ish delivered for a carbon frame and fork, nice wheels and decent spec.

Currently scheduled for June 2015 I believe.
Just checked - Smalls in April, Medium/Large in June (that's the top-end model). May (Sml) and June (Med/Lge) for the cheapest one

Thanks Scotroutes. Not going to be able to put off this itch 'till then. Will have a look at the Specialized Fatboy early in the new year (hopefully), although LBS (Ghyllside Cycles) have a very nice new Charge Cooker Maxi in black for £850 which seems very good VFM.

Hi rOcKeTdOg what's the mud guard you've fitted ..mudhugger? Size? Cheers
Rode my mates specialized fat boy today loved it ,bit out of my budget at the moment so I have been looking at the on one fatty or the genesis caribou not sure which to go for at the moment will a 170mm back end v 190mm be a problem?
Hi rOcKeTdOg what's the mud guard you've fitted ..mudhugger? Size? Cheers
rear is a standard 29er rear mudhugger hairdyered to fit, front is a prototype we are testing atm works really well, compare with & without here

needs a forward extension to stop "fling back" and we have a mod to try to solve that. it's rock steady off road too
Thanks that front looks spot on.
first fat bike ride today on a pugsley I built from a rolling chassis. Really liked it, but canny see me sticking with 2 nates! good training though!.
Keep me in mind if u flog the nates
Chrisylad24 - is that Mr T? Have you seen the Charge Cooker Maxi at Ghyllside Cycles. Nice bike for £850.

After a big, slidey off today, I'll be fitting Nates before I venture out on mine again.

That's an attractive bike. I especially like the way it says 'rude' on the fork.
Hi thanks for the reply Paul no not Mr T but I will take a look at the charge I am in the Midlands not far from rocket dog I believe so far in the flesh I have looked at the kona wo the caribou and the specialized will try to find a charge to look at locally thanks again
Bache bros in Lye cross have a genesis Caribou, I tried it a couple of weeks ago
Yes RD went in yesterday can i ask why you chose the on one in the end please
Mostly the £, I got a 20% off code. The fatty does ride trails well though with non of the floppy steering the Kona & Genesis had. Whether that means it'll be compromised in snow remains to be seen
Ok thanks for that the fatboy i rode yesterday felt very stable if anything i was suprised just how well it rode ,i have looked at the on one aswell and as it will be mainly used round kinver and wyre i like the sound of the geo on the on one just gotta get xmas out the way now cheers
I'm liking the looks of this canyon.. £2299 seems a good price..for front suspension and XT..DT Swiss rims etc

Came accross this vid looking for fatbikes in the snow..
looks like there's hope when my knees finally give up..
Along by Tanfield Railway in the snow, Fat Biking…:
Roboleg, gorgeous snow and #enduro colourwayz notwithstanding, you've got to have balls to use that song in a bike video and not include at least one backflip
Ah - that's Glenn. I remember when he turned up for a fatbike meeting in the Lakes. We were all agog at the Sandman Ti fatbike on the back of his car until he stepped out.... His "good" leg is an absolute work of art, and uses an RP23 knee 😀
Fitted a Bud up front today. Can see whay Surly named it the one half of Laurel & Hardy... they are on the limit of a joke
The knobs are seriously big

What rim is that on bonesetter?
Does it size up a lot bigger than a Nate?
Pretty sure they're 90's (OE fit Fat Boy)
Haven't seen a Nate, but are bigger than the Ground Control that came off
By all accounts GC's come up bigger than Nates, so Bud must be a fair bit bigger than Nate

Abbott and Costello innit. 😀
Aah, you've caught the intertexulisation of the joke and comedy stuff 🙂
The Canyon looks ace but the cranks are truly awful. Or more specifically, the bottom brackets are. Tiny bearings that even when new meant that there was sufficient movement in the crank arms to touch the chain stay. E13 - nice to look at but the execution is awful............ 🙁

Sadly not mine either 😥 I'm just the builder!
stumpytrek - A Fatty, on Dartmoor...Do you live near (to Dartmoor) then? Would love to try a Fatty on my local trails, just to see....
Having said all that have so far failed to meet up with Peanut to try his Jones...

Got a call from the LBS saying they could get me a Fatboy in size large. Thought about it for 5 minutes and picked it up two days later. Only been out for one short ride so far but it was gun inducing!
