I just picked this and have not done anything to it yet. It is not what I usually collect (Ritcheys) but since I am a sucker for original and interesting, this was too much of both to pass up.
1989 Wicked with Campy Euclid everywhere.
Funny that I now have 2 Fat Chance bikes, this one and another 100% original 1984. That one fell into my hands as well and couldn't be passed up. I need to stick to only Ritcheys or I will end up with a bike collection.
The welding on this is really nice, almost looks brazed.
Custom paint is cool and I was told that is was most likely done by Michael Pappaconstantine (the creator of the Yo Eddy figure). Thanks to Scott P Bengtson for this information about Mike: Mike Pappaconstantine - Team Fat Chance rider and the creator of YO Eddy. He also worked in finishing as a brazer and frame alignment tech. Excellent rider, unbelievable cartoonist - AKA the "biggest name in mountain biking"
The condition of the bike is 9.5. It needs a good cleaning and polishing.
I see on the FF site there is a model referred to as the 'Euclid' for 1989. Is that what this is? If anyone knows anything about this bike I would appreciate it if you pass it on to me.
