Are they any London based fixed riders that would be up for a fuk bicycle night ride unmeet? not been in london long and not many of my mates here ride bikes, shame as I do love a good blast around at night when the traffic's quiet. I lurk lfgss but would be good to have a fuk cycle club type thing going. not exclusive to fixed of course anyone welcome as long as you're not a fixed gear bashing roadie who'll tut when they see I haven't turned up in spandex. thinking 10-15 mile rides on average.
Krampus is the evolution of the 29er.
It’s not a fat bike. True, its got 3” tires on 50mm rims (we call this combination “29+”).
But where fat bikes are really designed for slow-speed crawling, Krampus’s frame (geometry, tubing diameter/thickness) has been designed with a long toptube and as short a rear end as we could get away with given the wheel/tire size. This, when combined with the big, wide tires, results in a mad amount of rolling inertia and grip. It rips and responds well to body English.
The big tires also offer a bit of suspension-like cushion.
Krampus is a trail bike that also tackles all kinds of terrain. Krampus lives somewhere between bushwhacking, speed racing, and back lot dirt track riding, and all this makes it just plain fun to ride.
