Silverfish 1993 Fat Chance Ti

[Silverfish]

I got some repro’s for mine but are a wee bit too big.

Where did you get them from? Can they make them smaller?

They were from Gil. I’m sure he could reduce the dimensions for them

Gil can get the size right - they will just be missing detail on the bones and teeth
If I can’t find any originals I’ll try a set of Gil’s

Happy Xmas to me

Still need to find a 1” Zooka in black - but I’m hoping that shouldn’t be ‘too’ difficult…

Not a lot of progress to report

Still searching for a Zooka
Got close a couple of times

But having sold a Cook Bros Sushi bar a year or so back and seriously regretted it - I actually managed to find another and decided that it might be a suitable replacement for the MRC bar.

Not sure if the Cook’s is maybe too early for this Fat tho - pretty sure they stopped offering them in 93 and the one I have looks to be an early one. The Cook’s stem is definitely not going to work on a Ti bike either.

Photos purely for drooling. I love the early CBR stuff

FYI: Use a pencil eraser to clean up the laser etching on your bars and cranks! With a little "elbow grease" you will get the etching looking brand new.

The crank logos are already pretty clean

But does using a pencil rubber work? I’ve always been a bit wary of rubbing the logos

Happy to give it a try if you’ve done it before and had good results?

I tried this but it didn't appear to make any difference - you sure it works - or were you winding me up? If you were you had me!

Cook bros stem is waaay better looking than ringle. Safer too since zooka s front plate cracks like it's their plan from the beginning.
