1983 Fat Chance # 138 Ex-Chris Chance's Fillet Brazed

Here is my 1983 fillet brazed Fat Chance # 138 that was originally Chris Chance's personal bike.

This bike came to me direct from the Fat Chance Ranch in Vermont and was hand delivered by my good friend, the one and only Wendyll B. I had been after this particular bike for years, my "white whale" that always escaped me was a fillet brazed Fat Chance since I first saw one in 1984 and I feel very fortunate to have this one.

I only changed a few things on the bike that were either not usable or just not my taste , but everything was replaced with period correct items.

Here is what it looked like when I received it:



And here is what it currently looks like:



Here is an image of the bike with the original owner:

Props due that is one very sweet ride

Beautiful! Good that the yellow cables were changed, looked a bit random.

Here's a photo of me and this bike, as well as 2 other guys who are really into Fats at the Fat Chance 30th Anniversary event in Vermont in 2012.

All 3 frames in the photo are from 1983 and are all fillet brazed.
