If only these were 32h rims.

Always love colour matched forks 👍

They switched to the larger head tube when production moved to Saratoga NY. FAT closed ops in Somerville in Oct 94. They move a lot of tubing and part built bikes to NY and finished them off and used up the earlier tubing on builds. I have seen Yos/Ti still using 1” head tubes into 96. So the...

Gorgeous brakes. Fyi Gil has the decals for these on file.

Same things gonna happen to the EU car industry now. Cheap Far East made electric cars made of plastic components that go hard, crack and aren’t worth repairing, just outside the warranty period of course. Unexpectedly high recycling charges and so it goes on and on. Everybody wants cheap cr@p...

I think Gary Helfrich would have something to say about that back in the mid 80s when he was chief welder at FAT CITY CYCLES 😆 Bean counters and Taiwanese mass produced cr@p all contributed to the race to the bottom quality wise in the 90s.

That is frikin gorgeous. Any more pics like that and i will have to keep mine 🤔🤔🤔 🙇🏻‍♂️ Mine has the rear canti bridge so no need for the brake booster. Bullet stays, just love em and they really improve the ride ‘feel’.

A 93 Yo and a 93 Ti have the same geometry as standard. So unless one or the other has custom geo the only differences will be as mentioned above, due to the custom spec steel or Ti tubing used in fabrication. This determines the ride characteristics and ease of maintenance etc. Steel FATs need...

The 94 Tis onwards have fully externally double butted main tubes. 91 protos, 92s and 93 usually had a mix ( top of seat tube ) but some of the late production 93 have more butts ( there is variation out there ) but they had welded gussets and a BB sleeve as limited production was an ‘evolving...

FAT afficionados know that the Ti FATs made during the Somerville Mass years are the most collectable and desirable for that reason.They are Ti copies of the Yo Eddy so made stiffer for all out race performance. Ex FCC Ti Team race frames alone have sold for over $6000 on ebay as have NOS 10th...

@luca73 Loving all the FAT Ti semantics 🙂 I agree with many of your points 👍 especially about over paying for rare components ( im very guilty of that in the past but who isn’t ? ) but even IROBOT said himself on FAT COG, that the pinnacle of his welding skills is the 1994 FAT Ti. The 94 Tis...
