Ok I give up.
What's MCRB?
Google search gave a bunch of articles on protein synthesis or
something.

I love the idea of a very fat tired road bike. Fun! I wish there
was
a big apple in 650B.
If only this fellow could have fit fenders in there, as it rained
rather hard for the whole event here in San Diego. I heard stories
from friends that moments into the ride, MCRB riders were dropping
out
like flies because of the conditions (rain!) and that people
riding in
peletons had mouthfuls of road grime.

That's a Ritchey Carbon Mountain Fork -- you can see the disc brake
mounts. That's why it can handle the fat tires. Everyone knows
that's
a 26" MTB frame and not a road frame, right?

Seems like the MC/ARB crowd is starting to get the "fat tires on
the
road" thing, albeit in a bit more "extreme" way:

Makes a jack brown look like a wispy track tire.
(from RKP's Grand Fondo Colnago report...guess the guy was a
belgian
who had flown in for the event. Come to think of it, that bike
would
be awesome for rocking some flandrian cobblestones)
Those tires look great. Impressive that the carbon fork he's using
can
handle those wide tires, but i can only imagine the road spray
those
things would throw up. A ride like that calls for fenders!
