Show off your Moonlanders

[bighit]

There dosent seem to be a thread for some moonlander love. Oh sure they all are the same color, but each has its own personality so let's see em.

If you could list some of your upgrades or custom mods for them.

Nice Moonies! I got a chance to ride one a couple of weeks ago at a Surly demo and had a blast. The ability to crawl over just about anything on the trail (or off the trail, for that matter!) put a HUGE smile on my face all afternoon.

My buddy (who rides a larger frame than I do) got a chance to ride a Moonlander that afternoon that was setup with Bud and Lou: the traction was crazy, even on extremely loose trail going uphill -- very impressive!

I should have mine up and running by the end of the week.

It looks like the bud/Lou tire combo is going to be the most popular upgrade for this beast.

Great looking bikes, Bud and Lou's look amazing on them. I must have one.

Orange crush.

love the kid's seat, great idea.

Where do they put their feet?

[farmerfrederico]

I would like to see pegs for their feet too. My son is 8 months and I can't wait until he's old enough to ride with me like this...but he could absorb so much more of the trail and really ride the bike if he had a place to put his feet.

When I first ordered this frame I thought that I would repaint it. Then it came in and I was blown away. wow is this a pretty paint job or what.

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…

[bighit]

That's the first repainted one I have ever saw, nice work.

Where do they put their feet?

I've fashioned a set of stirrups from the bead of a folding tire. They are lashed around the TT.

[bprsnt]

That's the first repainted one I have ever saw, nice work.

I have to give credit to Penn Cycle in Eagan MN on the paint and build.
I told them what I wanted and they made it happen.

Nice stuff.

What are all the OG's on landers now?

[VTFargo]

Got my Moonie last Feb, luv'n it, Big wheels keep on rolling!

[ColoradoClark]

Love the Scottish twist! Is that actual tartan rim tape, or just fabric, with (presumably?) rim tap on the tube side? I was at a Surly fat bike demo a few weeks ago (Pugsley/Moonlander/Krampus!) and met a handful of guys who all had tartan seats

Love the purple/magenta accents, too -- looks awesome!

[coastkid71]

The Tartan rim tape is 2" wide ribbon with the Surly rim tape behind, as with the Gusset tartan seat they are `Stewart` Royal Tartan` as worn by the man himself Bonnie Prince Charlie

Wish i could get Brooks to dye a saddle in tartan
