Mrsssstu's new frame has finaly arrived.
Just in time for her to get used of it before she defends her title at SSUK 2010. 😆 😉

Right I'm off to the build it up for her.

I'm not into SS but that looks RATHER nice 🙂

Nice. Is it a 29er?

Shame they never have anything to stop the LH dropout sliding back (have seen it happen, albeit rarely).

EDIT and I thought racing at SSUK was GAY?

^ It's got a gear hanger ain't it?

When are the ala cartes here??

EDIT and I thought racing at SSUK was GAY?

It is but it's not me that's the whiteshoeracer. 😆

very nice!

ooh just checked ISON .. they are here .. blue one above is 29er

looks lovely, rigid or sus forks with that?

Going to build it up with a Reba first.
But I have this which might find it's way on there at some point*.

*When the Larry tyre arrives.

I looked at them but could not get over the agricultural dropouts. Someone should use the SC jackel dropouts on a normal bike.

is that rim for Feb when we get the deepest snow on the Worcs Alps?

I like the dropout system. Love the colour. Not so keen on the 29er idea. Post some built pics and i may change my mind 😀

Salsa have just released a fatbike too 😮 called the Mukluk,
lots of bottle mounts to match there enabler fork, and very clever rear end supposedly which allows fitment of either inline and offset wheels using spacers…inline allows stronger 29er wheels,offset allows hub gears,

full story here

That is a lovely thing! I'm in two minds on the dropouts but the rest of it looks 'right'. Looks like I'm going to have to look at the Salsa site and see what proper 26" geared frames they do

coastkid.

I was looking at that the other night.

I think there might just about be room to squeeze one into my garage. 😉

Built up pics in a bit.

and now it seems Ison are outta stock of size 18 until dec 30 !!!!!!!!!!

Coastkid have you ever posted/blogged about riding your Pugsley?

I.e. how it compares to a normal bike on normal rides, pros/cons etc? Just curious like, it looks like it could add to one's riding, but also be pretty redundant unless you made the effort to use it.

Make sure you copter tape up the chainstays. Her wire wool leg hair will soon whip that paint job off 😉 (off to pack cricket box for ssuk) 😯

cynical-al, all you want to know about the pugsley here 😮
started a blog when i bought it,search through the labels…
heres a pugsley complimation film i made a few months back,
it does open up a whole new riding area,bit like that first mtb, seeing just where you can go,have said before there not very good on sticky mud like clay but peat ground like the cheviots,pentlands its great,is a bit more effort climbing but keeps you fit!, i bought it for the beaches here in east lothian and love it,the new salsa Mukluk looks like it will be real good, fatbikes are getting real big in the USA,alot of intrest,esp with inline wheeled frames allowing 29er wheel swaps,

that's lovely, I'm very jealous 😀

swede.

You'll need more than that to protect you from the fury of thewhiteshoeracer.

Is that a typo. Furry has two r's 😉
Amanda's face hiden to save me from castration next week end. Meow.

Looks cwap

What, stu's cat suit or the El Mariachi?

looks good!

I fancy a Mukluk too 🙂

I told you you could take pictures as long as you didn't put them on here. 😐

Anyway here it is built up hanging from a tree.

futon.

You still trying to sell that Endo tyre? If it was you that was trying to sell one? You Jones riders all look the same to me.

No not me – maybe when I can get a Larry.

That Mukluk has got me excited! Trouble is – the difference speed having just one fat tyre is noticeable – two fat tyres might be too much? Only one way to find out though 😉 I'll have to sell my (unused for 8 months) full susser.

Great colour, have you commandeered it already? 😀

have you commandeered it already?

Na. I've got more than enough bikes already. 8)

So any feedback Stu on how it rides etc etc

I know Salsa reported it was 25 % more heavey than the previous model but was gonna be heaps stronger , any thoughts ?

Could this frame be used as a CX one? Might be getting a frame to commute on, but drops are a must. It's so much prettier than a Crosscheck, hmmm….
