why?...well it has got quite a bit heavier..and i got a new backpack so just want to see if its better riding a bare bike with gear on your back...of course if wet weather now i will get filthy and wet if crossing tidal run-out on the beach..
but i love the look of pugsleys skinny steel tubes with the big 4" endo tyres...
today (satuarday) dawned clear and cold with a hard frost, i was heading for a ride through woods on the old estate where i grew up,not many pictures as i was filming...
there are wild boar in fenced off areas in one of the woods,i thought this was funny...pugsley meets pigsley...
wouldnt like to be charged by one of these things if it had its horns!,quite hard looking...but it seemed more intrested in snuffling for truffles...
did see lots of roe deer, i take this for granted as i see them daily at work but they are lovely to see..and watch effortlessly jump a 6 foot gap over a ditch or 3 feet high fence,
i didnt film any of the grander views in the estate but the ruins and stuff off through the woods where i could...not alot of junk lying around now like there was around some ruins but i did come across this WW2 ammo box,intrestingly in RAF blue...
and a morris minor engine...
finishing popping out onto the coast at high tide...
i enjoyed riding the pug stripped down and it did feel lighter and easier when walking along fallen trees or jumping over ditches and it can be shoulderd too,though i did notice the wieght of tools and water in my backpack,the framebag fits the karate monkey 29er too and i will be using it on that for bivvy weekends,in the meantime,jurys out..but i do like the simple look of the plain fatbike...heres the film...
very nice B, very nice!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!!
Peace,

The contrast between the frames tubes and tires is pretty rad. I have a friend with a moris minor. Don't hear too much of them any more do ya?
ReplyDeletejoboo; hows your pug?
ReplyDeletejerome; still a few moggi`s on the road now around here..mostly restored classics but there is a ratty van near here used daily,will get a picture and post up..i liked the pick-ups!
"Nice piggy", enjoyed the film! Looked like a short distance from a involuntarily bath at some points! :)
ReplyDeleteThe Pug sure looks great without the racks but at the same time the racks give a sertain look to it, but I have no real need for racks on mine since I so seldom make longer trips on the Pug, perhaps it will change when I get some gears on it?
think i will just stick them on if going camping in summer and fit the framebag if wanting to have handy camera access...love the stripped minimum look again..
ReplyDeleteThat's just crazy to me that you find war remains... I only see discarded beer cans & occasional junked car. hmph. Nice furry pig.
