Re: Folding Pugsley = Fugsley Maiden Voyage Photos and Videos

ya, but those rims and tires are pretty kool. they are still not as big as the motorcycle tires.lol. wonder how much the rims go for. but they look like 26" so the motorcycle tires won't fit, oh well, your bikes are way better anyways, guess thats why we do what we do. build kool looking bikes for not much money.lol. I just luv this.
that's why I build my own choppers way back when but then ya couldn't buy anything and if you could it was way to much so being a poor guy I build everything by hand. I like it better anyways that way.lol

OutlaW 8)

16 inch motorcycle tires wouldn't work, but there may be a size that does. I still think that 19 inch motrocycle tires might be the right size for 24 in bike rims. Someone needs to check this out. Heck, maybe there is another size that will fit 26" bike rims. If we can figure out what sizes work, it could mean free cool tires for everyone that will NEVER wear out!!

Are you following the theme here?? COOL and CHEAP!!!!!!!

Sending this update from 30,000 feet.
I am in team meetings all week in Fort Collins, CO.
The coolest part is we are going to get a personal tour (with tastings) at the New Belgium Brewery!!
Getting paid to drink beer!! What a country!
I am looking forward to taking some photos of all of the Fat Tire employee bikes in the parking lot.
If you saw my BEER RUN bike, you'll understand how cool this is for me.

What a great looking frame, would make a cool faux BMX except for the dropouts. My son has a 12" tire HotRock, cool little bike.

Re: Folding Pugsley = Fugsley Maiden Voyage Photos and Videos

My wife is 5 1, that is why she has the lol green dahon above that I fixed up for her. I don't think I could get her to ride fugsley.

Exactly! Plus, where is the fun in just going to a store and buying an expensive bike when you can enjoy the challenge of building a cheap one yourself?

I totally agree with you, Kingfish. I only posted them pics, 'cause I'd never seen those wheels in my life. And, despite the price ($ 200,- for a rim), I think they're awesome. "Do-it-yourself" is more fun, that's true.

Re: Folding Pugsley = Fugsley Maiden Voyage Photos and Videos

I'm embarrassed to admit it, but if someone offered to trade me their Sun Spyder or Surly Pugsley for my Sand Rover... I'd do it.

 

[wimpy]

Re: Folding Pugsley = Fugsley Maiden Voyage Photos and Videos

There's nothing to be ashamed of. I wouldn't say no, either. And after the trade, you'ld build another Sand Rover. Right ?? :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Re: Folding Pugsley = Fugsley Maiden Voyage Photos and Videos

I would probably do the same, except the capitalist in me would sell the Pugsley.

No doubt those big wheels are awesome! All of these mega fat tire bikes are cool. Factory or homemade, they are just wicked.

I like both, but I can see myself getting tired of a Pugsley after a few months.
I honestly enjoy palying around with all different styles of bikes, but at the same time I really get a thrill out of the hunt and success of making a good deal.

I want my bike and my money too! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Re: Folding Pugsley = Fugsley Maiden Voyage Photos and Videos

I am going to have to find time to take Fugsley out for another brakeless ride this weekend, but I have big house project that takes precident after being gone all weekend. I think the brakes are actually going to be a bit tricky because of the way we welded up some of the struts.

Did you allow for front and rear brakes? With the weight on that bike just a front would be fine. Good luck... oh, I don't think you ever talked about color.

I plan to put brakes on front and back. But I have to see how all that works out.

I haven't really thought of color yet. One person that saw it with the flame seat thought that yellow would stand out well against the tires.

I like yellow, now with the bigness of this bike, how about equipment (or Caterpillar) yellow? I seem to always see it on sale different places.
