This week I had all my Fats in one place and as the sun was shining I took the opportunity to get some pics.

1994 Shock-a-Billy
First up is a returnee. I sold this Sommerville built SAB last year but when the opportunity came to buy it back I jumped at the chance. This year it is wearing a different set of tyres but everything else is the same. It's needing a quick service and a few new cables inners but should be back out on the trails soon.

1995 Fat Titanium
Next up is TFM006. Titanium Fat, Sommerville built but with NY frame number. Now finished as I wanted it. looking forward to putting some miles on this one come summer!

And here are the ones you know...
Yo has had a few bits changed over the winter in readiness for the coming seasons RB meets. Pretty happy with this one now although I still need to put some decent brake shoes on it- brakes are shockingly bad at the moment :?

Next up is 'Auld Faithful'. Nothing changed on this 1987 Wicked. Just serviced and ready to go- will be getting its first run of the year on saturday over the Yorkshire moors.

This week i'll be getting stuck into Fat number 5. Something a bit different for sure but hoping it will turn out sweet. Watch this space!
