The standard Big Dummy does and I think was a mistake not to have the dropouts made for the Rohloff. That said, with a Rohloff it makes for a very expensive bike.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625591812317575695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-73257848993696397362016-12-06T18:19:46.131-05:002016-12-06T18:19:46.131-05:00@Geir Anders: You will have to ask Surly.@Geir Anders: You will have to ask Surly.Guitar Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960580677548417562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-56590264056872724552016-12-06T14:39:26.199-05:002016-12-06T14:39:26.199-05:00Brilliant writeup on a very interesting bike.

I'm in search for the photographer behind the sweet shot of the Big Fat Dummy out in the fields – for a story I am writing for the Norwegian cargo bike website www.transportsykkel.no.

It would make so much sense on this bike. Also, I too read the entire press release and I'm not even in the market. Good read for sure.50voltphantomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09827209932080133985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-74685969399743541622016-12-04T23:56:19.815-05:002016-12-04T23:56:19.815-05:00@Stefan Mettler-

I've been lusting after a bakfiets for some time. They just seem to make sense for cargo, but may not be the best off road...<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10440932837315255375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-60365165754630270592016-12-04T12:39:00.229-05:002016-12-04T12:39:00.229-05:00Sorry missed the 3k pricetagSorry missed the 3k pricetagArihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13083766829086663770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-45085587671123852982016-12-04T12:10:50.975-05:002016-12-04T12:10:50.975-05:00How much will it cost?How much will it cost?Arihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13083766829086663770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-61459952936611244232016-12-04T11:06:27.370-05:002016-12-04T11:06:27.370-05:00I'm less enthusiastic about Fat Dummy but I ap...I'm less enthusiastic about Fat Dummy but I appreciate that Surly made a bike like that. They have always been a company that creates market niches and pushes boundaries.<br /><br />I own a cargo bike and I think that for an average cargo bike owner big, fat tires are unnecessary. Fat Dummy is probably a cargo bike for those 10% of trips that you can't make on a regular cargo bike. Sure, it will work much better in winter when you absolutely have to take that unplowed trail through forest. But most of the time, there are paved roads available.<br /><br />For me, adding an electric assist to my cargo bike dramatically extended its capabilities. Adding fat tires wouldn't change it much, considering roads I ride on.bostonbybikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16002562971047930168noreply@blogger.com
