Blogs are strange like that, aren't they? <br /><br />I know my own has shifted focus over the years, I've moved locations and I've changed as well. But at the base of all this passing time is someone who still wants to take a bike, pack it with some simple gear, and ride it to incredible places. I hope I can do this bike justice someday, soon.

I always long for the days it was all about bike adventures. And then this. I knew as soon as I saw the first picture what had happened. I knew Mike had this bike up for sale. I wondered who would purchase such a specialized bike, a bike that is a piece of fatbiking history. No....."snowbiking" history. That's what we used to call it, right? I thought someone would buy it as a conversation piece and it would never again be used for a grand adventure. No pressure Jill, but I think it may be used again as it was meant to be used. There's hope again that your blog will feature more fatbiking adventure stories. Yeah for you, and yeah for your readers.<br /><br />This is the bike that opened my eyes to the folks at Moots. If I ever replace my Pugsley a Moots Frosti is my first choice of fatbikes to consider.

It just made me so sad to read your comment that, "industry already offered bikes better suited for trail riding, called mountain bikes. I also agree that fat bikes really shine on soft and loose surfaces, and prefer my mountain bike for dirt." I immediately jumped on my Fatback and took it for a cruise up the nearest dirt, rock and sand trail. Riding "fat" as a mountain bike not only makes me giddy, it lets me ride stuff that otherwise might stop me in my tracks. Enjoy Snoots on snow, dirt, rock, sand and anyplace else. I'll have my eye out for Snoots in Fairbanks ....

Not good in the snow though. On a tire from another bike he made it into a studded tire by hand using some kind of screw or something. I told him about your bike and how the fuel is stored in the frame with a spout. He was licking his chops. The "extras" for the Pugsley are so expensive. Glad you had a good time.
