Surly Speaks Video #4: The Big Fat Dummy

[@jamesluck8807]

You guy's truly are the imagineres of the bike world and for that I thank you

[@ninonation75]

Agree 👍

[@gottobehilikus]

This is going to be a game changer for my bike polo team. THANKS SURLY!!!!

[@davelunzcom]

Tell the guy with the cheetos to wash his hands before he watches porn....

Hello Cargo Bike Life and Surly: Thank you for your very good videos. Surly are great frames, bikes and parts. The Big Dummy is just outstanding. One piece of a big good concept. For versatile use. Extremely fun to ride. Fristly it seems expensive, but actually it's not. Worth every penny. The negative critics about it is not providing the wide loaders. How is one supposed to transport for example a big package, a table, a surfboard, another bicycle an so on? A longtail cargo bike without wide loaders is a bad joke. Wide loaders are THE MUST on a longtail cargo bike. Wide loaders are a very essential part. It is not understandable that Surly does not provide wide loaders with the Big Dummy. It's a little bit like selling/buying a pickup truck without "pickup platform". They also don't have it as accessories. The material would cost them maybe USD 5,- max. for producing series. And everybody would be happy.:-) Uncomplete bikes suck. Your side loaders, Cargo Bike Life, are well made and a good solution. Also no good: No bikes deliverable in 2021. What kind of business is that supposed to be? Everything out of China does not lead anywhere. Why not have good work and jobs in the USA, where people would like and being proud about their labor? Producing in China/Asia might be cheaper, but not having bikes available does cost way more. If at least the frames, forks and racks, the specific cargo bike parts, would be "Made in the USA", the delivery ways would be shorter and it would be available in the right quantities. For further parts would bicycle dealers and customers find individually. It just can't be that these bad Walmart bikes are everywhere, but Surlys are not available. Here is something wrong with the system.

Beard guy doesn't blink unless he grabs a cheeto, THE ENTIRE TIME, lol

[@ennienamewilldo8373]

background banjo music really sets the mood

[@MajorSpam]

I love the industrial styling of that bike.

[@GM4ThePeople]

To me, this frame is looking very interesting as the basis for an urban peasant/commuter's ebike. The stretched back permits a massive (50-60lbs?) removable battery pack on top, while keeping the side space free for very large side panniers. Probably a big hub motor (3kwh?), with a governor, of course. The large battery pack adds range, kills hills & is recharged at home overnight. Hopefully the urban peasant's electricity _es incluido_ with the rent! Could be a tenable solution for living light, when you want a little more juice than your old bones are outputting these days. Gj guys.

[@Kristoffceyssens]

Two kids on the back, the baby in the framebag.

[@radiohead1911]

Beard doesn't seem real. But beard dude seems real high.

[@thatguyonabicycleofconsurv3908]

How tuff are the tires, very little tread lot of slick surface for rocks to slice through... Any idea when that problem will be fixed

[@thatguyonabicycleofconsurv3908]

How much is this? What's the freight capability? If I ride 90% on the road is this my best option for a big dummy... Love your bikes

[@Peterdaireburke]

Great bike & video guys, im currently touring this bike Ireland -> India and its solid & comfortable. Fully loaded them hills are a challenge tho

[@Ontheroadtourism]

I’ve just bought one and it’s an absolutely brilliant bike. They should sell them though with a supply of potato chips.

[@brassbuickguy1065]

Will look super with a couple of steel ammo boxes (instead of bags) in back and a 1000 watt electric mid drive... Thanks, Joe

[@KuhFladenFREEEIFEL]

This is possible, steel is easy to weld

[@entropicgirl8648]

Is there a chance you’ll be making an E-Bike variant?

[@thatguyonabicycleofconsurv3908]

Hopefully you van get big dummy touring and big fat dummy touring videos out for us will be cool to see all the different setups.... thanks

[@dirt4507]

epic bike dudes...im gonna get one an ride across the country..we'll see how it holds up!?:);)

[@ninonation75]

That is most beautiful my son video recorded you riding your bike today and I just told him the story that's amazing brother

[@ummimconfused]

Where can I guy get financing through a shop for one of these??

[@travismuhler]

The dude eating Cheetos cracked me up! This would be an awesome bike, but the price point on this bike is way too high.

[@ninonation75]

Hi brother this is us three girls remember we met you at the store in Albany at stop & Go just want to tell you safe traveling..

[@richardtodd5418]

How can u fit a bluto, it’s 1.5 to 11/8 your head tubes only fit for 11/8

[@jeffdible8171]

I wanted a fat bike and a cargo bike. I think you have solved my all my problems. Availability?

[@bruceh5933]

I put my order in 15 minutes after it showed up on their Instagram and was told October.

[@nanobikerdotcom]

That was pretty good.

[@fsfer]

Could be a good rig for photog's

[@velvetvideo]

[@Kristoffceyssens]

[@shaneroberg309]

CHEETOS DUDE AFTER A BIG SPLIFF OF WEED LOVE THOSE BLOODSHOT EYES

[@bicycleninja1685]

Dude, where's my Surly?

[@smallerfreeze]

i would totally get a steamroller if the wabi classic wasnt less expensive, better and lighter... i say that with all due respect, i love this company... permanent acid trippers

[@SurlyBikes4130]

A couple of things here... $750 for a complete Steamroller. Although Reynolds® is branded steel, it is still off the shelf tubing that is not customized. Our tubes are custom made for the size of your bike. Although we do not take ourselves too seriously, we do take steel bike design seriously. We hope you will consider throwing a leg over one and judging for yourself. Cheers William! surlybikes.com/info_hole/spew/some_things_about_our_steel

[@richardlindgren]

@@SurlyBikes4130 No Steamroller completes anymore?

[@auroberg7651]

CEETHOS PRITY GOOD FUNNY DUDE.

[@shane4176]

[@SorieKondi]

[@fullspectrumcycling]

[@SurlyBikes4130]

Cheetos of course.

[@thatguyonabicycleofconsurv3908]

Do YOU build all the surly bikes in-house... and where do you do that?

[@ninonation75]

Love 💕 it 😊 love 💕🙏🇺🇲🕊️🍀🕯️

[@bosanderspublictheology]

Yes Please

[@KuhFladenFREEEIFEL]

Is this a 420 promo clip in second meaning?

[@zeeshimon7138]

Will you guys ever make a more professional video about any of your bikes?

[@drwork2491]

funny comment because their more recent stuff is more produced and slick and people are in the comments complaining it looks like a Trek ad 😂 There is no pleasing people

[@norahjaneeast5450]

You should sell a big fat dummy Fork here in Portland someone took a big dummy and put a big fat dummy Fork on it I know because of my fighting my xtracycle when I jump on curbs my fat balloon tire I just do a little bunny hop in the front and I go over the curb in the back just fast enough to get onto the curb but you should have as an option I wouldn't mind putting one of those if you sold them on my xtracycle which I think I could do

[@grindlex9]

The Cheeto bag noises!

[@sweetchange7273]

I want some chips... share now

[@SurlyBikes4130]

I ate them all. Come visit us sometime when we're on the road, we may have some cheeseballs for you.

[@richardgracews6]

save'n money

[@roberthadley5957]

Do you smoke fat ones before you film 😂

[@hussar80]

YOU ORANGE STOP MUNCHING ! This irritates me

[@ninonation75]

Deal with it. 🤣🤣🤣

[@francoisemitterand9611]

Advertizing with a women eating chips and loud guitar background music, a crap idea to get peepz buying this bike. Therefore I go buy another brand.

[@erneststabek6858]

Wow... do you realize that is a man?

[@ninonation75]

O well okay 👌🌞
