I am seriously considering pulling the plug on an orange 2012 9:zero:7 aluminum frame (135mm offset) in size large. Something about the shape of that frame is just damn sexy.
I have a 2009 Pugsley current built up, and now I am wondering how many of my parts will transfer over to the 135mm offset 9:zero:7 2012 frame. Obviously the seatpost is of a larger diameter than the Pugsley, what else will I have to change? I haven't really put much thought into forks yet, although I do have a spare non-offset 100mm-hub-ready Pugsley front fork (and spare 100mm non-offset front wheels, a couple of them), all I'd need to do would be to get it stripped and powdercoated in the same obnoxious orange colour.
Any ideas? Thoughts? Possible regrets? I love my Pugsley, honestly, the most fun bike I've ever known… but now I am lusting after those nice 9:zero:7 curves…
wife's xsmall. Still needs few more touches but is done. She already tested it in the snow and loved it. Mine is still needs many parts but should be done soon.
I just got my 907 and can tell you the lines on the bike are cooler in person. The tweaking to the top/down tube is really extensive. I am trying to load pics, but having trouble.
I feel your pain. I'm starting to lust over it as well. I love the new frame design and geo. Just don't know how all of my Fatback branded parts will clash with it.
"+ If you are an existing Pugsley owner and desire the benefits of a 9:ZERO:7 frame, all parts except the seatpost will transfer perfectly to the new frame."
I bought mine a couple days ago. An orange XL frame and a Salsa Enabler fork. I am in between sizes, 20" and 22" frame. I liked the fact the XL is a 21" frame. Once I saw them in person I was sold. Two more weeks I will buy the rest of the bike. I am fricken excited!
I will also add the crew at Chain Reaction are super helpful, Thanks Guys!

It's that damn ad up in the righthand corner of this page. Does look nice in orange. Funny, the Fatback banner ad at the top of the page has their bike in orange, too.
That being said, the orange is by far the best color in person!
