I am actually building one, a Salsa Mukluk which will be set up as bikepacking bike ... mainly for chasing dirt roads and 4WD tracks etc.

OK, It looks cool but I notice with interest that the one in the picture has a BELT  not a CHAIN !!!
Obviously the way forward.
Also no mudguards/fenders so it won't be a case of "mud in your eye" it will be "clods in your face"

Noticing the breed of dog featured I'm surprised you've not opted for a Pugsley!

My cat says, "Those are the dogs that bite first and afterwards asks no questions."

I could do with a bike with tyres that big. Some of my potholes are a whole crosscountry course by themselves.
