Nice! We're definitely a Surly household but I absolutely love the Mukluk and one day I'll get one to do the Arrowhead 135. They're so great in snow.

This is one heavy bike. My legs are SO sore right now. LOL. I'm going to have to build up some more strength.
The tires are meant to run extremely low like 12-20 psi so you float over stuff instead of crashing into it. So far it's been easy on my back as the tires absorb all the shock. The trick is to find the right psi for your riding style. I went over gravel and through some mud with ease.
Salsa guy said all the bikes for the upcoming year have been sold. Not sure if he meant to individuals or to the stores. Salsa and Surly only make so many bikes a year if I understand it right. Same with the other fat bikes.
