The incredible…shreddable REEB Hooptie. Back in mid-June Tim from Reeb borrowed us his own personal Hooptie to ride. I penned a ‘First Look’ piece about Tim’s Hooptie that closed with… So any of you REEB Super-fans that are nearby (That means you JP) that want to ride a REEB Hooptie should just hit me up […]
Take a step back to a Bay Area News Report about some cats riding Klunkers. I hadn’t seen this clip before and thought it was pretty cool! Would you share your Plus or Fat Pixels? Give us your tired, your poor, Your huddled pixels, yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming hard drive. Send your pics […]
I had the opportunity to chat with Bruce Boone the founder of Boone Technologies recently and we talked about his bike bling that I’d been drooling over in my Instagram feed. If you’re an old singlespeeder, you might recall Boone Titanium cogs and chainrings from days past… well, they’re back! Q) Welcome back to the […]
We have the luxury of featuring just the sort of bicycle fun and games that we’re particularly passionate about here at fat dash bike dot com. This summer we added a column about a sub-niche that’s linked to my earliest memories of hot rodding my bike. I’d spend most of my summer lawn mowing money […]
Today’s subject is Tim’s Hooptie at Levis Mound on a trail called Cliffhanger. These trails are one of my favorite happy places and ripping around on a steel singlespeed is the perfect way to create some quality beta waves in what’s left of my brain cells. Moments like these make me gain a deeper appreciation […]
With things getting back to normal(ish) as far as getting together with friends to ride, I hatched a plan to get together with our resident singlespeed expert, Spinner Ryerson and REEB super-fan JP Syverud so they could ride the Hopptie that we have on loan from Tim at REEB. These cats are both seasoned product […]
Editor’s Note: After seeing the Reader’s Ride(s) post about Angry Andy’s Ritchey P29 singlespeed, Philip Rohrer sent us some shots of his newest build. It’s a Stooge Dirtbomb. 29+ enduro-klunker and asked if we’d be interested in featuring his bike. We gave him a yes followed by another yes. (that’s two yesses) The results are […]
I’ve been lusting after REEB’s Hooptie since it premiered a couple of years back. The Hooptie is a blend of a mid/long-travel hardtail along with a classic Klunker. After the editorial board gave the green light to launch Project Klunkedelic (this here series of articles), I contacted Tim at REEB to see if we could […]
Is the State Bicycle Co. Klunker the deal of the Summer? Somewhere back around 2015, I saw a story about the Asylum Hank that I ride today. I brought it up during one of our early Dose of Fat Podcasts and ordered one in early ’16. That bike gets as much attention as my fat […]
California Dream’n is coming our way with a Collaboration between State Bicycles and the Grateful Dead on a steel klunker that has me very intrigued. I’ve been talking to Chewey about this bike, because his shop is a State Dealer. He told me that he’s got two of them built and that he’s planning to […]
Click the flyer for more Information! Our Gnomefest Cousin Joe and his amigo Derek are building some Full Metal Klunk in the form of an event entitled May Day Mayhem to North Central Iowa on May 1st. Trust me when I say that Iowa knows how to throw a bike party! I bet this will […]
