Surly Fat content - Hattie Redux Part Duex

[sunchaser]

The risers are DMR wingbars but they are only on to keep the brake levers on whilst my Titec J bars are being polsihed

Liking that Hope rear hub as well - going to be a smart build

[kaiser]

Awesome! I like your thinking

 

[saltyman]

Sweet!

Hope you enjoy the hookworms, won't be long until the bad weather is here and you need to get the larry/endos!

 

[SilverSurfer]

Matron!

Been wanting one of these for ages (even though I don't live anywhere pug-friendly).

I was never totally happy with the white Pug as I had hankered after a curry squirt from the previous year. I also love to pieces the army green of my Big Dummy. So to kill two birds with one stone Hattie was stripped naked and dispatched to the powder coaters.

The RAL for the army green is 6014 but I was advised by the powder coaters that they didn’t have it and it would be a week or so to get a batch mixed and cost a small fortune as they would never use it again. Instead they said they had recently had a guy getting Land Rover parts done in a special green,

Ok said I what shade?

Oh NATO Green mixed to MOD spec we have some left over.

BINGO! Yes please.

They also recommended a lacquer coat over the top to give a higher gloss finish and all for the princely sum of £45. Now needs a fresh set of stickers

So here is the result. I took the chance to have a change of bars to something slightly more conventional, in this case Surly Torsion Bars made by Nitto, and whilst doing that popped on a non recall Salsa Cromoto I had managed to snag.
First shake down ride at work and I have some to the conclusion chain tensions are a must to stop the rear wheel creeping.

 

[saltyman]

Quite a nice colour!

Are you coming to the uk fatbike meet this month?

 

[ferrit]

sorley tempted but will need to get a pass out from her indoors

I might only be able to manage a day ticket, due to work.

Do I need to register?

 

[saltyman]

no need to register, but i will update the link in the meet section on this site as soon as the mtbr fat section thread is updated.

more the merrier, just waiting to here where we are all meeting and where the riding is starting from.
