Just picked up this bike over the weekend. Neat paint but the parts sure are a mess. Originally it would have been a full M700 Deore XT "deer head" bike but it has been "upgraded" over the years. Still deciding what to do with her.

The bike had been raced for several years and then sent back to Fat to be refinished by Hoss Rogers. So not "original" paint but it was applied by Fat Chance.

I would say it needs 'degrading' back to its original state :LOL:

wish I had a museum as an excuse to buy shedloads of nice bikes
 
That looks great!

FAT seem to have been making modern looking bikes for years before many others. Nice.

Any idea on the geometry/angles for it?
 
This seems like a good thread for this photo.

The bike is a Ritchey, not sure what year, but around 1985.

Paint job by CycleArt.
