I wanted to start a thread where everyone can publish a picture of their bike with the specs of components. Would be a big help to the ones who just planning to build a bike, and can provide owners with some good ideas. I know it took me a while to figure out what components to purchase, and even than I had to replace a few parts right away when the build started.
frame - Vertigo Cycles Titanium with Paragon sliding dropouts (custom geometry) fork - Lefty with MCS-designed offset clamps rims - Surly Marge Lite (stripped off black anodization) tubes - Specialized 29" x 2.1" tubes tires - depends, but usually Surly Nate 120tpi front and 45NRTH Husker Du rear (or both) spokes - Phil Wood tapered on the front, DT tapered on the rear nipples - Brass (whatever they come with) skewers - Project 321 aluminum bolt for the front, Salsa 170mm rear headset - Chris King: upper inset cup, 44mm bottom cup (Chris King InSet) handlebar - Jones titanium Loop bar grips - Oury Chocolate Kiss stem - Thomson X4, 90mm, 10deg, pointed down seatpost - Eriksen Titanium Sweetpost, 30.9mm, 450mm long seat clamp - Salsa bolt-on saddle - Specialized Phenom 143 in brown disc brake system - Shimano XTR Trail w/ 185mm Avid front rotor and 160mm rear rotor front hub - Project 321 Lefty in silver rear hub - Fatback/Hadley 170mm in silver bottom bracket - Phil Wood Titanium, 100mm shell x ??mm spindle crank set - Middleburn RS-7 with 30T Surly 5-bolt pedals - XTR cassette - at the moment, singlespeed. Either 18T Endless or 19T King steel chain - SRAM PC-971 bashguard - Salsa Tooth Fairy shifters - at the moment, none. When I do, I have Paul thumbies with IRC perches waiting. Derailleurs - none mounted, but that nub on the seat tube is a direct mount for an XT direct mount front derailleur sitting in a box in the basement, along with an XTR rear derailleur.
I'm 5'8.5" w/ 32.5" inseam, and I wanted to be upright-ish so I spec'd a 23" top tube.
There was a thread started in the beginning of the forum for this by Big Hit titled `Post your fat bikes`.
It dissapeared down the pages when the `Daily fatbike pic` thread was started and that became more popular. I did ask for it to become a sticky but it never did.
A pity has it has all the original members bikes on here and a lot of stuff i have not seen for a while, like `Pugdozer` and `Panzer Pug` and Doc Feelygoods creations
