New look for the fatty

Got ambitious this morning and stripped some of the mongoose decals off and slapped some random stickies on the frame. Some look good, some look like shit. Yay. (:

First mod for the snow bike

Amusingly I made my frost mod before I even rode the bike!

I replaced the steel seatpost that it came with with an Aluminum one that I had sitting here. Still have the mongoose seat on it.

After work I took it out for an inaugural ride. The gearing definitely needs some changes and I need a front brake, but the tires performed great in the 1" of fresh snow that was melting tonight. Will drop the air pressure down and try it is some deeper snow maybe next week.

New bicycle

So this is the first brand new bike I have ever bought!

It is a *cough cough cough* with some sick tires.

It weighs in at about 48.5lbs out of the box, without air in the tires...:D

Most people are curious why I have bought this monster of a bicycle. Simple: I don't have to worry about the paint or anything and if I should go big enough to damage the frame I can always weld'er back together!!

Here comes the fun I think!
