Summertime Fatbike fun

My little Grom and I were ripping it up on the beach.  Snow, sand, fun all the time.  He has a 20''x4'' wheeled fat bike.  I'm waiting for knobby tires to be released soon or I might just make my own.


Customer's Gravel Grinder.

I finished this build during the spring for a customer who rides all over Southern Maine.  It has already seen lots of gravel and dirt and is working great.  Reynolds 531 frame powdercoated in a matte green.  Alfine 8speed drivetrain and the nicest tires I have ever laid hands on.  Challenge Almanzo tires in a super-supple 260tpi casing.  They ride like silk over uneven terrain and are fast.  It was a fun build and is being enjoyed and getting dirty.

Two more makes 5 Surly bikes

Way too long between posts but I've been busy.  These two troublemakers have been keeping me busy and smiling:

2014 Krampus, American Classic rear hub, Chub carbon front Hub.  Rabbit Hole 50mm rims, 29x3.0'' Knards in 120tpi.  It rides like a dream at 12psi.  Rolls over everything at speed.  It's my new all around trail bike.

And this 2013 Pug Ops that I built from a frame set.  80mm rims, painted Puce.  1x8speed ghetto drivetrain and only a rear brake.  Works just fine in the snow and is all around fun everywhere.
