Your Dream Fat Build

[SJJ28]

Has to be available, or reported as coming in the next 6 months (ish)

Ready..... GO!

Salsa Mukluk frame, titanium.

2 fork options: Carver Carbon for racing and touring, Cannondale Lefty for MTB.

Hope hubs

Some nifty flat bladed black spokes

2 sets of wheels: 1 set with 82mm Rolling Darryls, holey, with Bud/Lou and Surly tubes; 1 set tubeless, with those Northland? rims and a set of high TPI Husker Düs.

Shimano XTR hydro brakes

Eriksen Sweetpost

Thomson titanium bars/stem, or ENVE carbon bars/stem.

Ergon GS grips

Ergon pro carbon mountain saddle, large.

KMC DLC X10sl chain

Hope 2 piece rotors

Chris King headset, BB.

I'd like to say XX1, but that won't really work with this build...so I guess a frankenstein 3x7 to clear the bud/lou.

Crank Brothers Eggbeater 11 pedals, but annodized to match the ride.

Salsa Fliplock.

If there was a good option, I'd contemplate a generator hub setup up front on the fatter tire combo.

^^^ I like this a LOT, except for the limited rear tire clearance...

A Lou will fit on an 82mm rim, if you adjust the Alternator dropouts.

A Lou is as big as I will ever need to go.

Ready..... GO!

Can I be the first in a long line of folks that are going to say "I'm already riding it!" or is that being a poor sport?

Hmm, maybe my sights are just set low but I am happy with my Necro Pugs as is. Solid build, tires that are perfect for me, Jones Loops, black & badass! I nearly had to sell it due to a family emergency so it has been on my mind of what I might buy once things got back to normal & money. I ended up not having to sell, but I had came to the conclusion that I would buy the same bike again and spec it the same way. If I had the cash, I might do an internal geared hub in the back as I like the SS look but gears are nice. And maybe a black brooks leather saddle?
But I love my pugs. All in all, same build & same color scheme is my dream ride.

I just wish a Lou on a Clownshoe would fit on the back of my Fatback...

Reminds me of the ending to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, "One of God's own prototypes, too weird to live, too rare to die."

Dammit. WTF is it? Want.

[AC/BC]

I would also build my own ti fat frame. (dream)
My last build was pretty much what I envisioned to be my dream fat bike. The only way I could top it is to build my own frame.

Dammit. WTF is it? Want.

Reminds me of the Fatback

[Velobike]

I reckon if Singular Sam goes ahead with the Puffin with an EBB, that would be a winner. If it was in Ti then doubly so.

Frame posted by trailmaker is of his own making. Check the frame builder forum for amazing pics. Makes me want to set the computer down and get back to the garage and turn the torch on!

[Burnt-Orange]

Trailmakers frame with nvfatty's orange parts would be close to perfect

Hey;

I'm in the process of getting bids on powder coat. $300 from one company that was super cool to talk to. Kind of pricey though, I think.

Color Scheme - Retro 2-tone, Blue/White;



Blue; Frame, rim strips, Purely Customs grip clamps and engraved stem cap.

White; Drilled rims, bars, stem, spacers, headset, seat clamp, cables/hoses, Hayes Stroker Trails.

If I was made on money, it would be ALL colored to match. I think the frame deserves it, , but... Fun to dream anyway.
