oh yeah that's tasty, reminds me of when i was working in nottingham and sshockwave were big in the 'gucci' brands. DB mannies/goats and these funks, was hard to explain to other electricians that Â£1000+ was good value for a frame :?

sshockwave was awesome BiTD. Went in their as a callow youth in around 1991 having never seen anything more trick than a GT Avalanche. The manitous etc were just jaw dropping. Didn't leave empty handed either - left with a set of power grips

TiFat

This is a 1993 M/L TiFat. The frame was completely restored and brushed and was given new decals. It's got a full NOS Record OR gruppo, with NOS Campy rims, Wheelsmith spokes, Smoke/Dart combo, Ibis Titanium stem (brushed to match), Hyperlite bars and Sycros post. I love the way the fork matches the original decals. The Bullit shifters work really well. It's a real stunner! Sorry about the three pics, I couldn't choose!

Fat 99 per cent BUT when there is a Kona among the lot you never know ...

Zing!

Pure quality is that - a refreshing change to not see any anodising!

And how clean are those tyres!

A very beautiful month for sure - is it me, or does BOTM just get betterer and betterer....?!

My cellar-full get's plainer and plainer mind...

I now, never liked anodised bits. I wanted a very clean TiFat without any blue bits. Just titanium and highly polished aluminium......

We've had this one for awhile but it had some wrong parts on.......but that's all better now. We bought it as a frame with a handful of drive train parts on it but it had never been completed. Added a few more NOS, or lightly used bits, and made it whole.

Jeff @ FF - I love all your stuff. I proper vacation for me would be to statesville!

Some humble criticism - the saddles on all your bikes could go up a couple inches. Just my $.02
