Fat-Ti Week! – Quiring Bike Porn

We’ve dubbed this week as Fat dash Bike dot Com – FAT-TI WEEK! Later in the week, Sven’s going to share Kent Eriksen’s entry into the fat-bike market, but first we’d like to share an early adopter’s latest Titanium fat-bike work of art. It’s been almost 2 years since I visited Quiring Cycles at their Free Soil Michigan studio and wrote a builder profile about Scott and the amazing bicycles that he produces there. Since then, we’ve featured his bikes under the heading of fat-bling, because Scott’s craftsmanship is at the very top of the fat-bike class! This is what Scott had to say about his latest creation.

Here is a Ti fat-bike frame I made for the 100 mm rims (Lou tire) and 190 hubs.  As you know my frame design in titanium solves the “flexiness” issues some other brands have problems with, yet my frame is still lighter, stronger and tougher, than what I could build, in a similar bike done in aluminum.

Check out the shots of Scott’s welds and his unique chain stay yolk. This is a fat-bike that would be welcome in my stable of bikes, any time! Click any of the shots in the gallery to see the photo larger.
