I've got a fatbike, and another hopefully on route. Not sure I have "the bug" but I do really enjoy riding them. I'm in Prescott but I've ridden my fatbike all over from Moab to Iceland this year.

Warming up here, took the studded bud and ground control off the fatback and put my HuDu's back on. I saw ski patrol walking the runs today at the resort. Have fun with the Borealis Yampa I almost purchased one before I built up my Fatback. BTW go tubeless if you haven't yet, it is worth it.
Salsa Blackborow???????? Full ride report please! Ohhh and try some Van Helgas as I'm torn between them the Bontrager Hodag's, 45th Dillinger's and the Schwalbe Jumbo Jims. You know mostly glacial till, silt, and organic peat moss type of summer riding. :drool:

Close. Sorta. I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch, but I have some fun potential projects lined up for this rig should it become available for me.

Waiting on the rims from Borealis, might go to another company.
But yes, the all carbon bike along with the tubeless?, IT RAWKS!

Are they making it in carbon or Ti? :ylsmoke:

It will be of the carbon variety.
Not a carbon Bucksaw, although that would be amazing.

Proceeding on...
"I'm too heavy for light work" and carbon fiber. I have a Surly Pugsley, working on getting a Cogburn CB4. As I stated elsewhere on this forum, the first weekend of September one of my friends who is a veteran bicycle tour leader, suggested that I take my Pugs on a planned bikepacking trip instead of my mountain bike. I did, and it changed everything. With the exception of several events that took place between then and now, I have scarcely been off the Pugs when riding.
