My answer to the question of: “Why do bikes for kids always come with such shitty parts on them that weigh a freakin’ ton?”—I built up his bike with parts I have on some of my own bikes.
Proof riser bars, Sam Pilgrim grips.
I've decided on a lemon lime scheme against a neutral color frame (black, white, charcoal gray, or audi nimbus gray).

That’s going to stand out, for sure!!! Now you must try and locate equally obnoxious components and trim. Anodized bits here and there in the radioactive monkeysnot green– cables, hubs, rims, bottle cages, stem, etc.

The list is growing, LP and I must control my urges not to overkill the theme.
It seems the martian poop colors have migrated to Europe, hence the Polish parts I have collected.
My inspiration...maybe I can get them painted on the frame.
Just picked these up at one of my favorite LBSs... someone wanted custom wheels so this pair was a take-off. Salsa blue hubs + QR, soon-to-be-holy Rolling Daryls, rimstrips and all.
Hopefully by February my new frameset will be ready and I will be moving almost all the stuff from my Pugsley. This means a 2012 Medium Pugs frame, fork, headset, and GFS wheels will be for sale...
While not fatbike specific I got a GoPro silver last night, hope to get out this weekend and do some beach riding in Nikiski, Alaska while visiting the In-Laws, i'll post a pic after we come home.

I've treated myself and been treated pretty well over the holidays. I bought myself some new boots for commuting. They are Columbia liftop omniheat boots that I bought from www.theclymb.com . I didn't think that they were going to be anything special, but I am super happy with them for my purpose. They are really quite light, and also quite warm with 200g of thinsulate. They are grippy on the pedals, and very waterproof. They have run full dirty slush commute and come out clean on the other side.
The other was also for commuting. I got a new waterproof pannier from www.greenguru.com . It might be a little heavy but for getting my clothes and iPad to work perfectly dry, whatever. Very well made bags made out of recycled tubes. Love it.

I got a GoPro also, the HD Hero2. It's waterproof so I can use it on my jetski too.
I call it babyfat? cellu-lite? boba fett? Whatever, the Duro Razorback came in yesterday.
Much to my surprise it fit the stock rim and fork w/brake clearance.
I am (and entire household) nursing a cold and hope to be healthy enough for a ride tomorrow. And we got a few inches of snow to pounce upon!
Yep, I think I'm getting hooked on this fat thing.
