Ti Allrounders with 650x47’s are pretty hard to beat. Fenders optional. #plushlyfe #meriwethercycles

Doug first bought the Meriwether Metallica shirt and then got inspired to order a Ti gravel frame after he got some Covid-cash. Fade to Black paint by Colorworks looks incredible. Watch out for this ripping around Bay Area fire roads and singletrack! #meriwethercycles

Kurstin’s longtail fatbike in metallic blue and silver. Untukt 640mm chainstays with a spot for a bolt on bag between the rear wheel and seat tube. Triple bosses on the seatstays for water or gear, triple bosses on the front and rear of the fork legs, flask cage bosses at the rear of the top tube and bolt-on gas tank bag at the front. I can only imagine the miles this is gonna travel in the Silver State and beyond! (IG cropped these while posting thanks very much Instagram🤨) #nogogetlost #fatbike #meriwethercycles

#tbt 2016 to this transformer seen here with dropbars, Beer EBB, Paragon Polydrops with Rohloff inserts, and the Co-Motion twist shifter, Paul’s Klampers, 29x3 Chupacabras, sleeved unicrown rigid fork. #meriwethercycles

Eric’s low-Q fatbike in the snow. (Kidding... it’s too dark to take nice outside pics so he was nice enough to send some from the photo booth!). What’s low-Q you may ask? The pedals are about an inch narrower than most fatbike cranksets making pedaling feel more like a regular MTB than a fatbike. This is done by strategic bending and dimpling of the chainstays, using a 177mm rear axle, Race Face NextSL crankset with a 183mm Q-factor and 65mm chainline to fit a studded 27.5 Dillinger4 with Sliders forward at 430mm chainstay length or a 4.5” with the Paragon Sliders back towards 450mm. The idea is based off the carbon Otso Voytek which Eric had prior to this frame. We customized the fit and geometry for his body dimensions and style of riding: longer and slacker with a bigger front triangle for a larger storage space (framebag) while allowing the use of a 150mm internal dropper post. We added M6 mounts for a solid rear rack and additional bosses for custom bags elsewhere - all to help carry more gear securely. And of course it has a Portage Handle as required by Alaskan border patrol.
