    Default Fatbikes... Wow

    Seems like the fatbike bug has been caught!! Just off the top of my head I count 7 fatbikes now?

    I got my new Rolling daryl wheelset on with the cutouts and green rimstrip. It turned out pretty good!I got he pic to upload to the FORC site, but i ain'ts gotten enough odat dere skulin to make its work here!

    Believe in yourself? Well sure, of course. But be aware that "believing in myself" has been the root cause of most of my injuries.

    Fat bike, Best bike ever! Go anywhere, and the most trail friendly bike ever! Can't wait for a good snow, but it could be my best year round bike too.

    Fat bikes are sooo much better than fat butts! However, my excitement for snow comes from my newly acquired snow board! Can't wait for this winter to happen!!!!!!!
    I wanna ride!

    THATS IT!!! Thanks Gunch!

    I just had to go with Alien green.

    These are my tires- Larry- and this is my Rolling Daryl and this is my other Rolling Daryl.

    Its a fatbike/ Bob Newhart joke. Not really worth explaining...

    I believe fatbikes are the future of mountain biking. I can see it splitting off into more categories, like calling fatbiking "All-terrain bicycling" and a typical mountain bike will be called XC or trail bikes since they are more or less confined to the trails.

    But yea, I rode a Mukluk 3 and I had a revelation, which I promptly cleaned up, then went in to the store and put it on layaway. Picking it up next Thursday!

    Here's a better pic from Scocopa EARLY Sunday Morning while the ground was still frozen.
    Bikes always look prettier in their natural habitat...

    Well- I got it posted, now if I could only size it appropriately! HA!

    And it comes complete with a flask to help you fight off the winter cold. Nice!

    You really need one Russhole, best bike ever! Mine's not that nice but it's a fatbike and that's all that counts!
    I really think Santa is more of a Surly kind of guy with the beard and all! He's old and old guy's like steel!

    Got one of these myself. Stock Surly Pugsley. If I ever trash the wheels, I'll get some of those Daryl's. It truly is an anytime bike and I was anticipating that. Now I just pretty much keep it in my van all the time. I used it on Sunday to roll through an area that we'll be expanding trails into at Squaw Creek in Marion. Worked great. Now for some friggin snow. Glad Ray posted the flask pic. I was thinking mine wouldn't fit along with a waterbottle. Now I know better.

    That looks very, very, expensive. Also needs a different color fork.
