All this talk about fatties makes me want to ride one. Should of done that at the fest. Congrats on the new fatty, I'm sure you will have a blast. I've never seen someone riding one that wasn't smiling.

Looks like we will be bike brothers, Lance.
The fatty brings me back to being a kid riding a bike. I'm not out looking for trails to ride, I'm looking for adventures that can be had while on a bike. Riding on the Wapsi River on the ice, through shallow crossings, snow and sandbars is some of the most fun I've had on a bike. I can't wait to get back to the trails on my 29er but this fatbike in the winter is making me fall in love with winter and biking all over again.

^^^ and there it is.
"ya, well...that's like...your...opinion. man."
That yellow is sexy. I want to see a fire engine red Pug in person. I'm thinking about getting a pair of those Salsa bars for my commuter, too. Comfy.
Got my first fat bike last fall a used Pugsley and rode it everywhere (don't ride a bike to count miles) and never had any problems or replaced any parts not even a flat. Traded it in this fall for a new Mukluk and rode it everywhere, just got my first flat on a fat bike the other day at Sylvan. Nothin wrong with a fat bike, best bike ever!
"I've spent half of my life riding a bike, the other half I wasted!"
I have to say that just riding my 29er in the snow, for the two days that we had it, made me feel like a kid again. I keep looking at the forecast in hopes of snow, but our temps are hovering around 40° for the next 2 weeks. #stupidclimatechange

What the heck did you quote my long post for, Chief? :confused:
Pugsleys have been known to crack

Get out and ride !!
Don't try to weld an old one at home
Get out and ride !!
Surly warrants all their frames if bought from an authorized dealer.
I wonder if that counts that my LBS got if from an authorized dealer? As far as i know, the cracks were mostly limited to the white frames and that the issues have been addressed with revised construction at the junction of the upper stays and the seat post. I was going to get the last 2012 white one from REI ($50 cheaper than the '13), then my LBS found one in Long Island and is having it shipped. I got to use my 10% good customer discount and saved a bunch more. #winning

Wow, looks great! If it's not too sloppy on Friday I'd be up for riding Sylvan if you can manage it.
I'd join you, but I'm in Philadelphia at the moment.
I'll be working at the New York International Motorcycle Show that day, but I've put together a Philly fat bike ride sunday am at Valley Forge. it's weird, there are way more riders here, but by and large, philadelphia has neither the community nor the organization y'all have in FORC for fat bikes & mt biking in general. You're very fortunate.

Sweet! Congrats. I had no clue about fatties. Was 'fattie curious', Ray let me ride his Pug to see how nimble, a square deal on a Muk posted right hare on FORC site, on a whim I bought it - my first whole -bike purchase in 12 years. I had no idea what I was in for. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!
As many other FORCrs have already said, its renewed Fun. Hopefully you'll find the same.
Enjoy!

DAMN IT, thats a nice fatty, NOW I WANT ONE!!! CONGRATS!
What I hate the most is they have pugs that match my car (the one you got, yellow with a bit of black)............DAMN YOU
How to convince my wife to let me save up this season for one since i JUST paid off my Marlin less than a week ago. Is there anything wrong with having like 4-5 bikes???
I see a guy around here rides his fatty from here over the bridge to clinton, guessing to work, and home EVERY DAY, 3 inches+ of snow on the roads and hes cruising right past me and im in my car or truck. He gets around town in the crap better than my car can.
