You guys know how much I love my Ibex/Xtracycle, well Surly Bikes has been testing a prototype called the Big Dummy! I remember seeing this thing at last years Interbike. It’s actually pretty cool. They basically built an Xtracycle bike.
First of all, no, the Big Dummy is not yet in production. We have all been asked when they will be ready, on a daily basis, over the past six months, but the best answer any of us can give you is, “when they’re ready.” Why? Because at Surly, we do not believe in selling you products that will require you to work out any issues that we were too lazy to work out ourselves. Not only would that be a disservice to you, it would send the message that we don’t really care about the products, but are instead focused only on how many units we can sell. If you know anything about Surly you know that this is not the way we operate, ever.
