I actualy like the look of a mountin bike with chunky tires pannier racks in the same way that I like the look of beefy 4x4 cars with cage roof rack and snorkels.

Do I need therapy?

    WTF is that trailer all about?
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Extra artic supplies? :lol:

    Or maybe they got bored building bikes that are too heavy to move with only power that a human can provide, so then plan to make it into a moots bikeboat (outboard goes on the trailer). Hope you're listening moots, ideas like that are worth their weight in over-tyred wheels...

    It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

    Can I buy a new bike?...No - no result

    Me? I hope not, I hated that scrote.

    And while I do like 'fat bikes' like the pugsley, I live no where near a beach or snow so I understand I will never have a practical use for one, much like most 4x4 car drivers :wink: Doesn't stop me liking the look of them though. :D

    By chunky tyres I just meant anything over 2.2" as most tourers hav much thinner tyres and are therefore not designed for offroad adventures.

    Not Panniers, pannier racks! :lol: You don't have to use panniers, you can just strap things to the rack with bungies, and they doble us as great mud guards...

    Looks like a bike for cold conditions, perhaps it's a radiator?

  • Nothing wrong with a pugs, it's a proper mans bike! :wink: and 4" tyres give plenty of float

    That Moots there is awesome although I'd probably ditch the trailer.!

    I voted "Yes" but I didn't even read the original post.

  • you could strap some seriously huge stuff to that trailer.

    I like the CK headset used for the ?hinge bearings?

    yes,
    but it's no different to having a foot fetish or dressing up as a girl (assuming you're a dude)..
    Not really active
  • So that's what the snowplough driver uses to get to work then !

    Or is it the bike with the front ski / rear caterpillar track conversion ?


    I think the radiator thing is what they hang the grit spreader on.
