Why do I do it? For the love of it. Simples.
Like a magpie, I saw this and had to have it and so it was shipped from the US. It came with the 29.4mm post and that is all I needed. The frame is in stunning condition. At the time of purchase I said to myself “One of my two little cherubs will eventually like and ride this”. How many of us have done that?
This is one of two tiiiny Fats in the fleet. I am determined to make them both work. To be fair I’m 5’6” so a 400mm post will be essential. I’ll do a thread about the red one at a later stage.
The Litespeed fork, in couple of the photos, was never going to work as the head tube is so short and the threaded part wasn’t long enough so it lives in the Serotta for now.
On the fork subject, I acquired a P2 which is an almost exact paint match to the frame (paint done sometime during its life not by me) and I could use it, but, a Landshark with an Amp fork which was for sale on here recently got me (and probably a few others) drooling and ultimately thinking possibilities.
And so, here we are so far…same knackered wall but a fresh project to play with.
As ever, more to come.
