here`s something you lot will freakout at! my surly pugsley,
a balloon tyred bike designed originaly for snow riding and races like alaskas iditabike-run on the infamous iditarod sledgedog race,basicly its a cromoly fully ridgid frameset tweaked to acommadate surlys own 26" diameter 65mm wide `largemarge` rims and `endomorph`3.7" tyres which are laced offset by moving the hubs 17mm to the right to allow tyre clearance for the chainline and the forks are tweaked to allow a reg 135mm rear hub (mines a singlespeed) on the front this allows interchangable wheel set for diffrent singlespeed gearing or incase of a mechanical problem,wieght is around 30-35 lbs same as a 6" travel fill suspension mtb,outside tyre diameter is 29" and being semi slick pretty quick once rolling like a 29er mtb,despite fully ridgid its comfy with the big tyres which cushion the trail,pressure usually run around 10-15psi,can be lowerd to 4-5psi for snow/sand riding,theres only about 5 or 6 in the uk,i dont think theres another in scotland yet,there is a forum in usa for anyone intrested here- http://forums.mtbr.com/forumdisplay.php?f=164
