How about fat retro bikers.

Re:

An early Surly Pugsley with canti brakes would be pretty close to 'retro'. They look and ride retro just with very fat baloon tyres. Only thing inovative with a fat bike is tyres and rims otherwise they are just old school rigid mtb's. Many owners are now retro fitting thumbshifters for gawds sake :facepalm:

Thumbies, Sram 9.0 "composite" brakes, an Ultimate titanium post, and a med. cage M750 rear derailleur on mine (it had 8 speed Suntour thumbies, which worked great, but I didn't like the cassette options).

grr

I have a set of thumbies like those on order for months now (my LBS has a direct line with the Belgian Microshift distributor, but that doesn't seem to help much). Those damn fat bikes are using all of them. :evil:
