Has an Xtra-Cycle Fat bike conversion been done yet?

No bolt on freeradical conversions that I've seen, just the custom built or modified longtails like Chupacabra, the Banjo fat longtail bike and there was another guy in Minnesota I think who did some chopping and welding on a Big Dummy to squeeze a fat tire out back on the Dummy.Has an Xtra-Cycle Fat bike conversion been done yet?

Jag, I hear what you're saying. I want the cargo capacity for doing cargo and touring, but I need it on the sand, hence the fat bike tires. I won't be mt'biken it, but that's the beauty of having it a bolt on xtracycle, I can convert it back so I can take it up into the Adirondack Mts, Two bikes in one.I have a Pugsley and an Xtracycle. IMHO, the functionality of both bikes would be negated by combining them. The Pugsley is nice because it's easy to pop a wheelie on, a skill I rely on in the winter. Attacking snow drifts, climbing up on stuff, etc requires the nimbleness of a mountain bike (fat bike). The handling of the Xtracycle is fine for street cruising, but it's not going to jump up on a curb with grace.
Of course the looks of the fat cargo bike are incredible, and if the appearance is what you're going for, then go for it. Just don't expect it to be an accurate presentation of what each style of bike is capable of.
