Surly Pugsley. Tires are around 4" wide on 80mm rims. Rides like a bus but it's SOOO much fun. I actually raced it last weekend... dead last in the singlespeed category (of those that finished) but I have to say it was one of the most fun races I've had and I actually kept up fairly well for a decent bit of the race.
what are the benefits of tires that LARGE? and what did it cost you? |

and what did it cost you? I got it for fun. I use it as another XC bike and it's been great so far, just heavy. I think the frames are going for around $600 these days. |
and where do you buy tubes for it?

Just picked her up last night. Something different to compliment my Trance.

but in all seriosness... what is it?? Though I don't quite get the saddle...susceptible to moisture...contraindicating the purpose of the bike. That is, unless the OP is just using the bike with low psi to smooth out a super choppy ride. That would make sense. |

But it is a bit overpowering - - one giant, black supergraphic plastered over the entire frame like that. |

It's called a Pugsley. Made for mud/snow riding. 3.7" Endomorph tires float over sand/snow/mud w/o sinking in.

That would make sense. The saddle is green. The headset's green, pedals are green, hubs were originally supposed to be green. The shop I worked at had it sitting in the back not being used and I thought it looked cool so I got it for this bike. It actually got rained on once and did fine, I'm not a big fan of snow and being from NC we don't get a whole lot anyway. Trails close at the slightest spit of rain so the moisture issue isn't really a concern for me. I've got my other bike when the going gets wet. This bike was built purely for fun because I've always wanted one and will most likely almost never see anything but singletrack and maybe some sand at the beach. (If I do ride it in the snow though I'll toss another saddle on it.) |

(not that anyone cares) Heck man...I think that's the perfect bike for some Kansas singletrack with all those "fist-to-head-sized" rocks and roots. Run low pressures and glide over all that crap. I'd love to build a Pugsley or Wildfire someday. How hard is it to grunt that thang on some groomed trail compared to your buds? |

It's actually just a combo of matte black and clear coated black paint. The only stickers are the Specialized (black) and the EVO (black) stickers.
