Thanks, Mike! I've been pretty impressed with the Fatty R's--had a set on my Rawland, too. They roll nice on pavement, work great on dirt, even feel pretty secure over snow-covered ice like in these pics. Smooth riding tires, too...
I am looking forward to longer rides on dirt and pavement but it was kinda fun to get out in such weather just to blow the cobwebs out. That Singleone is a pretty bike--I don't think you'd be settling if you waited for one.

Love those Fatty Rumpkins!! Now if you could just get rid of all that snow you could really enjoy it. I wish there were some 58 Quickbeams left, I guess I'll just have to wait for the Simpleone.
