The Surly Big Fat Dummy, a long tail, fat-tired cargo bike, will be available around April 2017. Price TBD.
If you're familiar with Surly, then you know this bike was inevitable. Surly's Big Dummy has been a dependable long-tail cargo bike for years (yet somehow we never managed to discuss it here).
And then Surly began to roll out one fat bike model after another: Moonlander, Pugsley, Ice Cream Truck, Wednesday, along with fat do-it-all bikes like the Troll, Ogre, and ECR. In fact, we imagined Surly making the following pitch at a QBP product meeting:
QBP Head Honcho: OK, let's talk 2016 products. Surly, go ahead.
Surly: Fat, fat, fat, fat. As you know, we're all about the fat bikes. And we just keep getting fatter. Like land-on-the-moon fat.
But Surly wasn't done getting fatter, and we should've known that. The Big Fat Dummy will take 26x5.25 tires! Complete bikes will ship with 26x3.8 tires.
The Surly blog has a long post with everything you need to know about the Big Fat Dummy. So if you're interested, check it out.
