Took a little trip up to Levis Mound to kick off (meteorological) summer and give these new Surly Sunrise handlebars a try at one of my favorite places to camp and ride. The rain must have scared off a lot of people, because I practically had the place to myself (at night). It was getting […]
I’ve been a fan of Surly bikes ever since I threw a leg over the Purple Pugsley. I came to love the feel of steel while everyone else was trying everything else. A memory that will stick with me forever is when someone was explaining the benefits of a belt drive to Sov and asked […]
Last week, I made good on a long standing plan to continue my exploration of the Lake Michigan Shoreline, just north of where I left off on a trip in 2012. The plan was to explore the area north of Ludington to the river town of Manistee. Over the years, I’ve visited and written […]
The Vermont Mountain Bike Association (VMBA) has partnered with Surly and The Old Spokes Home, to put on a bike raffle to raise money for trail grants and advocacy in Vermont. VMBA is working hard at expanding FAT bike access on state and federal land and this raffle is key to that effort. “Donate 5 […]
 Mike Beganyi took his Krampus out to his local woods in Burlington, VT on its maiden voyage. Mike captured himself riding his new Surly with a GoPro Hero3 Silver on a ultrapod set to fire every half second. You can see more of Mike’s incredible photographs at www.littlecirclesvt.com Let us capture your soul! In the spirit […]
Michael Kauk sent us six metric gnome tons of Krampus pixels the other day along with some spec’s for his Lavender? Lilac? Violet? Purple Singlespeed Krampus. I lived through the original purple anno period of the early 90’s and still kind’a love me some burple blingage, so without further ado, we present White Mike’s Violet […]
Regular fat-bike.com contributor, Chris Zito, penned up the following review of his time spent with a borrowed Krampus. Check it! I knew it would come to me. If I bided my time, and waited patiently, it would appear. And when the good lads at Black Ribbon Test Labs sent one my way, I fell ass […]

It’s been a month since we built our test Krampus that I named Thilver. I’m legally changing the bike’s name to Silver from this day forward. This bike is just too much of a bad ass to carry a comedic name. The Ride Big tires + wide bars + short stem = fast, confidence inspiring, fun! […]

I love this bike. I went out to Vegas just to ride it. Of course there were beers and friends that I only see about once a year, and more beers, but this conglomeration of steel and rubber was the focus of my trip. I was pretty sure I was going to get one, but […]
