1984 Fat Chance TIG

[WWC]

Hello everybody

Realised I've not put up a thread on this old girl nearly a year after she was put back together.

It's a 1984 Fat Chance TIG.

I bought this complete from the states and had it shipped over.

It had been hung in a bike shop for years apparently.

Certainly seems very complete and original...

Something you should never sell no matter how much money one offers.

That is mountain bike history. I started mountain biking in Colorado in 1982 so this bike really brings back some great memories.

Re:

Cheers all.

Cost/value is subjective in all this retro stuff but digging back through my emails I paid £515 shipped from the states.

I was very happy with the price but I don't think it'll ever be worth much more than that.

Not that I care mind, it rides lovely and will be with me for a long while.

There is a nice Wicked on eBay that hasn't even shifted at £300...

Very nice bike, I'd love to have an early Fat.

Out and about in Norfolk at the weekend.

Not the most inspiring shot as the sea was only 40m in the other direction...
