Here is the wife's on the light side. Pic's are from last January. I have made a few changes since then. Went to a 30T front sprocket, Paul's chain guide ect…
Wow - that looks amazing! Out of curiosity: what size is your wife's bike? I'm a bit vertically challenged (5'4" w/ 29 1/2" inseam) and am wondering if there is any way a Moonlander would fit. We have a local dealer, but he does not keep any in stock to try out. I have been on the Surly site a few times but the #'s seemed to point the bike would be too big.
They are great at keeping the wet spray off. Since they are pretty thin plastic, a sticky heavy mud will probably cause problems.
That sticky mud you're talking about is no problem at all- it all sticks to your tires so the fender clearance is never an issue. Traction, however, is.
Ended up buying a complete just to have extra parts around. So far added the Formula brakes, Thomson stem, and Salsa pro moto bars. Will change out cassette and derailleur in due time. Bud and Lou are tubeless. I'm 165lbs and think that about 5psi is great for the conditions I'm riding right now. Enjoy!
Grow some food for yourself, it's a friggin' mad skill to have.

sylus, hope you don't mind me using your picture as mine looks just like yours and I don't know how to post a picture, thanks! I just picked it up today, no plans to change it as I like the way it is stock and fits great!
Hey all. Got a Moonlander about 2 months ago. We had a blizzard in Madison two weeks ago, and I am lovin it!. No exciting changes to the stock bike yet, but those will come. I am too busy enjoying riding this thing to want to make any changes! Found an aluminum channel that is wide enough to accommodate the tires for a roof rack without any problems, with the old school Yakima Raptor frame holding part. These aluminum channels can be purchased through any local metal dealer, as they are reasonable available I guess. Easily drilled too. Straps added later for holding things down, of course.

I normally use photobucket and pop it in
since that pick , I've added a charge spoon saddle, ergo cork grips, sks front downtube guard, white tire liners, new pedals and a cheap frame bag
My Nick Drake "Pink Moon"lander.
1st Gen. Moonlander blinged out with pink anodized parts from Purely Custom. Also a Thompson seat post, Ritchey saddle and Bontrager Evoke grips.
20 tooth granny & 36 tooth cassette for slower than walking speed technical crawling. (I've got a muscle disease that makes walking difficult, so the longer I can stay on the bike the better.)
