New Salsa Fatbike

This is big news...a production complete fatbike...from Salsa
called the Mukluk it will be sold complete or frameset...RRP is $1499 US dollars...
at our exchange rate that is £1000 plus import duty which is real cheap undercuts a pugsley complete build by at least £500...
it has a cool rear drop out spacer allowing you to fit offset wheels so you could run a internal hub gear or inline (regular) 29ers so if you have a pugsley you could upgrade to one bike with a 2nd 29er wheeelset..it also has fork bottle mounts...i still say they stole my idea on them!, Salsa are really big in the UK,and unlike Surly who dont seem that interested in promoting there pugsley fatbike salsa has a bike here with the additional 29er appeal which may interest people this side of the pond,i wish them all the best and consider one of them in my stable instead of 2 bikes
heres some pics...








here it is with 29er wheels...plenty tyre clearance for UK mud!



the complete bike specs...looks good...
