Mountain Bike Monday - IT'S A FATBIKE

The weather held off on "all" the rain we were supposed to get so we held an informal Tom's Pro Bike Mountain Bike ride at Sprague Brook yesterday afternoon.  It was funny that only fat bikes showed up to play.  Lynskey and Specialized were represented by Tom's Pro Bike sold bikes at the ride and it was a great time.

The Lynskey Stratus is the titanium version of the Fat Bike and rode solidly for the first time in the dirt:

Float along on our new Stratus all terrain fatbike and you’ll find yourself enjoying muddy, sandy, slushy, icy, and other downright nasty trail conditions like never before. You can also assault those ruthless potholes, curbs, and cobblestones of your local asphalt jungle with ease, comfort, and fun!
At the core of this beauty is our 3Al-2.5V titanium frame. As you can imagine titanium is the perfect material for a fatbike. It’s superstrong, extra-lightweight, and it will never rust, corrode, or tarnish even if you live and ride on nothing but oceanfront saltwater beaches.

The frame is packed full of features such as rear rack mounts, slider dropouts that allow to you run either geared or single speed, a versatile 44mm (i.d.) headtube that accepts both straight and tapered fork steerer tubes, and the rear seatstays and chainstays have clearance for up to a 4.0” rear tire. Several of you have already asked about the possibility of running a 29" wheel/tire package, move the sliders back a smidge from center, you're set.

The Specialized Fatboy is an aluminum version with carbon fork and it's owner had a blast riding it on the dirt for the first time as well:

All the fun of a fat bike with the performance of a Specialized. The Fatboy combines a lightweight frame and fork with 4.6" Specialized Ground Control tires for nimble handling in the most extreme conditions.

• New, fully butted M4 Premium Aluminum frame with 190mm rear spacing and a tapered headtube for a lightweight platform with stiffness where you need it and clearance for 5" tires
• New, full monocoque, Specialized FACT carbon fiber fork with 5-inch tire clearance is super-lightweight and stiff
• Wide, 4.6" Specialized Ground Control tires with foldable aramid bead are light, fast rolling, and provide excellent traction regardless of the terrain
• Custom 2x10 PF30 crankset with 100mm spindle provides tough and dependable performance
• Tektro Draco 2 hydraulic disc brakes provide powerful and consistent braking, regardless of the weather, temperature or terrain
• SRAM X7 10-speed rear derailleur provides fast and reliable shifting that can handle all the elements

Tom's currently has a Medium Surly Puglsey in stock and a Large Specialized Fatboy.  We can order in your size and also the Lynskey.  These bikes are versatile and you are guaranteed to have a great time no matter where you are riding the bike - including riding in the creeks!  Stop by for more information.
