Fat Chance Wicked '87 (update with new pictures page 2)

Lovely Bike, Martin. I can imagine it will ride very well. Let us know.
 
Did a small maidentrip yesterday and found it a nice riding bike, more comfy then I thought it would be and less flexible. Wil do some real off road when the weather will clear a bit.

The DEAN was terribly flexible while riding, it was a 20.5" and had a long seatpost. Loved the looks bu only ridden it twice and not even off road.
Fram had no cracks or other damages.
 
Kind of like my previous roadracer, a Merlin Extralight - my experience with titanium was with a sleeved Fat Titanium and IF Deluxe built stiff - so I thought a titanium Merlin would last me forever. Yet it rode like a wet noodle, would bend sideways and all over the place on any sprint.

Couldnt find the right words but yes, thats exactly what I meant!
 
Excellent.

It's nice to see another Wicked on here – it's good to remind people that Fat didn't only make the Yo.
 
Changed some little things:

- decent flite titanium
- decent skinwall tires
- straight black bar

For quite a while I was searching for something else then a Klein.
After the dissapointment of the DEAN I never thought I could ride a bike wich isnt made of Aluminium.
