<\/a><\/p>\n

This evening, amongst a bunch of other stuff, I had the opportunity to put together most of my friend Marty’s new bike, an orange 9:ZERO:7 Susitna<\/a>. Named after Alaska’s only area code<\/a>, 9:ZERO:7 is one of the premier fatbike brands, and one of the few (or only?) mass-availability models that aren’t sold by QBP<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Marty’s bike is mostly stock, but with SRAM XX Grip Shifters<\/a> and the Gore Ride-On cables they came with, Ergon GP1 grips<\/a>, a Ritchey<\/a> carbon bar, Planet Bike<\/a> bottle cages<\/a>, some flat pedals that I had laying around, 45NRTH Escalator<\/a> tires, and some peace sign rim tape that Nick (her husband) set up on the wheels for her. I also added the usual compliment of UHMW tape<\/a> for cable rub protection to help the frame look nice for a long time to come. (Disclaimer: I didn’t put the wheels\/tires together, so the not-aligned logos and valve stem are not my doing. Yes, I acknowledge that is a very pedantic detail.)<\/p>\n

As shown it comes in at 32.62 pounds, which is quite respectable for a fatbike where weight wasn’t the priority in the build.<\/p>\n

With the orange frame and peace signs the look of this bike just screams Marty, and it should work out very nicely for her. I had a bunch of fun building this, and I hope it serves her well. It’s a really, really great looking bike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
