I know...and I am totally fah-reaking out!!!

Sheesh, you'd think my bike were actually on its way to my LBS by how bonkers this has made me.

Shopping for them is almost as much fun

Oohhhhh....Salsa's site is up..homer drool Only thing I want from Surly is their Krampus. Salsa's Beargrease is tempting though same with their new Mukluk. I'd have to sell mine to get the new one though.

Woot on the new bike!

I was lusting over the Beargrease until our LBS friend told us that it's not worth the $3k. He said it doesn't feel all that much lighter than the regular Mukluk, so he didn't feel it was worth the asking price for a bike that doesn't feel less bulky. I SO want that orange Mukluk 3, though! A fat bike is almost certainly my N+1 once my El Mariachi comes. Then there isn't anywhere I can't go by bike here in MI!

Ouch..3000? No thanks then. Ohhh..didn't see the Mukluk 3 since the Fat Bike forum didn't mention it. She's gorgeous and nicer looking. Surly Nate tires, BB7s and trigger shifters. Don't know much about rims. Mine are Graceful Fat Shebas and the Mukluk 3 on the site says Surly Unholy Rolling Darryls.

Not sure if I could put trigger shifters on mine (X7 twisters stock) and X7 rear derailleur or if it's worth it. I've heard great things about the Nates though. BB5 disc brakes are good enough for me. Maybe I should just buy the frame and move everything over from mine. LOL!

Only thing I don't like about my fat bike is pumping up the inner tubes. If I get a flat out on a trail, it would take forever pumping it up. I spent 10 minutes using a floor pump the other day.

Surly's Krampus is a 29er fat bike of sorts. I think they are 3 inch wide tires. Guy in a LBS said he rode it and loved it. Would be a happy medium of sorts.

Was it the Mariachis that have a limited edition color for 2013?

Ohh..Evil Salsa..blue Fargos. Again, just buy the frame and move the parts over...LOL.
