Lets see your Fat bikes

I’ll get a pic later today.

Here you go bonesetter. Shot above with the sweep and side view of rise.

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 🙂

Nae krampus pics yet soz 🙂

And I’d much prefer the Boring Black decals that the prototypes had over the Outrageous Orange ones of the production bikes.

That’s the way to rub it in bgrunes! 😡 You too, stumpytrek! 😡

The bike rides well enough that I put up with it. 😕

Here’s my post operative treat to incentivize me back out again…

Tim pop down for a gentle NWAlps ride as part of ur convalescence

Day off today so a quick spin before lunch in the pub

What frame is that Tim?

What frame is that Tim?

It’s a 9:ZERO:7 Whiteout Carbon. I’ve got a set of 29+ wheels for it too, but can’t be arsed fitting the tyres today.

Will do one day. Not soon though 😉

Picked this up from a forum member last weekend;

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.

Nice

I like the black/orange too

that is one of the best I’ve seen

whos is it?

wouldve built it with orange nexties tho

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
