Nice movie

That's brilliant! If there was any more space, and any more money (there isn't!) I'd have me a fat bike!

That's a nice looking bike.

Yes, that was myself. I do recall seeing Anth that day and did think about stopping but didn't Wish I had!
Pugsley weighs in at...wait for it...19.3 kg or 42.5 lbs but you don't really notice it unless lugging the bike up cliffs, across dry stone walls, etc.Posted 12 years ago # -
Blimey, that's probably 10lb more than my LHT, and I thought it was heavy! I shall have to stick it on the scales and find out. Of course as you say, weight is relative, and gearing more important :)
Lovely video.

Really nice. :-) Have you sent that to Surly?

Cool vids Gary, I'm tempted to get a Go Pro HD now!!
I've never been out to the midget subs and really fancy it.

Bikes are only heavy if you have to carry them, You don't have to carry a Pug.
We have an 18 back in stock at TBC if you fancy a try out.

Ooh, would be fun even to just try - I need to pop in to talk Surly Pacer with you anyway. I need to confirm size, oh and rear spacing is 130 it appears, reckon it'll stretch to 135?
Anyway, will see what size I need then see if before Christmas for a frameset is feasible.
I've wanted a Pugsley ever since seeing Gary riding it out at Aberlady (before I knew who he was). Sooooooo cool.

"Bikes are only heavy if you have to carry them,..."
So you'll be seen on next years audaxes riding one then? ;-)
(only teasing btw!)
Edited to add, just weighed the Surly LHT (roughly on kitchen scales!) with saddlebag, 2 x loaded panniers, my usual toolbag etc.
4 stone (56lb if my memory for lb in a stone is correct) which makes a rather scary 25kg. Still (massively) less than I took when I went camping on it :-o
Explains why pushing along the winter tyres was feeling like hard work :-/ still, good strength training I suppose!Posted 12 years ago # -
anth - 130mm please. I wouldn't stretch that out to 135.
The Cross Check will do it. It is 132.5.

BTW anth I've sent you a tweet about another potential frame that I found that might fit your green / steel / hug geared criteria.
