  1. So, does anybody own one, or ever seen 'one?'
    (http://tinyurl.com/3cwfy4)

    You'd get some serious speed IMO, however 26kg is substantially heavy.

    What do you guys think - if you had the spare money, would you buy it?

    If somebody tells you your tricks are gay, ask them if they are an
    expert in gay trickery.

  9. yeah that one was buiilt by a custom frame manafacturer, he appeared
    quite alot in a thread about grooving 36" tyres for grip, as you can
    see in that photo they aren't the standard tread pattern. And no I;ve
    never rode the monster cruiser, only the penny farthing version.

  10. There's one guy interested in 36" bikes on the mtbr.com forum, he made
    that frame above, and he is making them for others if I remember
    correctly. He called it a 29'er on steroids.

    Well for one it's not a pile of [censored].

    It's actually setup to be useful, and not just something for show.

    The bike I posted has high end parts on it, e.g. Shimano XTR cranks,
    BB7 Brakes, awesome Surly Flask, Chris King headset, Aluminum Airfoil
    rims, useful tread on the tires.

    Personally I would have made it with a higher bottom bracket, and used
    the 190mm Profile cranks on it, and not had extra chainrings up front,
    probably takes quite a bit to get that thing rolling.

  13. Is it just the angle of the picture or is the rear a 29 and front a 36?

    Well whatever it is, it doesn't look like the back can possibly be
    7inches smaller, so it's just the angle.

  16. If it was geared lower and you studded the tires I bet it would make an
    awesome snow bike, especially if you drilled out at least the front rim
    to save some more weight.

    That thing would have so much inertia once you got it going.
