After much thought I have decided to put up my Fat Chance for Sale.
I brought this 1989 Fat Chance in Kandy Wild Cherry from Ron Andrews,ex Fat City employee and racer,Ron also used to work for Merlin,Jo Breeze and Yeti to name a few, he now runs King Cage.
This bike has unusally some rack and mud guard mounts , which are not standard. It is built up with Suntour XCD accushift which i believe to be original, it also has some beautiful crome Mavic MA2 rims.The original thumbshifters and levers are a nice touch too.

The Colour is lovely , as all Fat paint jobs generally are,its like a glittery purple when the sun is on it. There are a couple of dents and allot of stone chips, I never re painted it as it looks great as is with all the history.

Size is medium and i'm looking for £550 collected from the Forest of Dean,will consider shipping at cost .

heres a few pics , please see build thread for more :

It would be a crime to split this bike given how much is original and the history
