Its going to snow soon, and I want a pugsley


I would love to have a pugs for the winter season. For those of you who dont know what this is, it is a very fat tire bicycle made by Surly, is steel, relatively heavy, but floats like a relative cork on top of the snow.

This past winter I used my $0.59 Ebay special MTN bike to race with. I did put some wide tires on it though (also off ebay for ~$10). It worked well enough (two top 10 finishes in two races); but it was a slog; especially in training. Now Im not one to object to making training more difficult; but it has to be 'doable', and there were more times than not that it was not doable with the bike I had. If anyone has one out there that would like to trade for a brand new titanium TT/Triathlon bike (57cm), please let me know. I have one (that I put together off of Ebay) which is very sweet, but not a Pugs (and does not work well in the snow).
