Bikes away getting a nice shiny hope evo rear hub fitted, so in the mean time I'm using my hybrid bike.

Bruce made another vid from our recent coast ride, showing the big fat larry tire in action....enjoy.

That really is a stunning bike, I would happily sell very single one of my bikes to own one......hmmmm now there's a thought?

saltyman · Aug 13, 2012

quite a few fatbike owners end up selling a few bikes after they own a fatbike, as they tend to take over duties of the other bikes.....

im down to just 3 bikes now.....hybrid (cardio, genreal fitness, loan bike to others)....single speed (hack bike or spare) and the fatbike....all offroad duties, xc, mountains, beach, snow, trail centres, exploring etc....

It's been a long week without the fat one.....but it's finally back at last.

Hew hope pro evo 2 rear hub, XTR chain and a wee service....all is healthy in the fat camp.

Big thanks to dave at DC cycles Ulverston for the work

Seeing as I was in the lakes I decided to get it sanded up in no time!

I went on a few wet and boggy rides so stuck the brooks on the badboy, ended up on there for almost 2 month now!
