Its a salsa mukluk 3. It comes with studded 26 in tires and two panniers. I've always wanted fat bike but i just wish the circumstances were better.

Good news gang! I got the bike and changed into the summer tires, rides beautifully!

Bad news gang! The bike bit me REALBad .

I'm sorry about your friend. Enjoy the bike, especially if they specifically left it for you. Maybe do a few rides specifically in memory of them?

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
