Just ploughing through another cup of tea after popping in to Law Cycles in North Berwick...
I remember a full suss fat bike built up on an old Marin Alpine Trail or similar frame..... and fancy a build project.....
Anyone got any pictures or details ?
Cynic-al is your man IIRC...
Spoons etc optional extra.
Yeah. Not on pc so not so easy to post pics etc. Search "Alan Cole" on Flickr
It's the low end one with the steel rear end. I lengthened the rear end by brazing in 1 1/8 steerer tube sections in and offsetting it for a 135 hub.
I then removed too much of the steerer sections to make it look good and one collapsed. So it needs fixed but that's in hand.
Someone did similar with a Maverick on mtbr IIRC. If you can work in aluminium there'll be a ton of frames you could use, I was restricted by wanting to use steel. A mate brazed it, not me.
OK A few pics around here:

No worries. The mtbr thread is very good, and email me if you like.
