Been drinking again - Finally bought my 1st fat chance frame

[purplewicked]

Makes a change to be asking all the questions

Cheers for the answers Melvin, I have registered myself on the frame registry now so I can eventually get some decals ordered

Seems like a lot of folk are going for keeping it violet.

mmmmmmmmmmmm

and sticking XTR on it ( :? bloody overpriced XT if you ask me)

xtr m900 is not only longer lasting than same period's xt but it's finish is way above in quality. the standard gearing wins over compact imho.
it does get quite pricey these days. a m900 crank will cost 2x more than a later xtr m952. thing is: the m900 will keep looking top class while the grey xtr looks like cr@p all scratched up. not to mention the octalink BBs..
somene said fats dress well w/ later non period correct parts and i think it's real. their lay out is modern and aggressive looking. the more original and scratched you keep it the better will look w/ modern parts.
get a marz. bomber up front. or a BOI.

RBG - you have PM!

Those are in fact decals that I produced and sold to him.

Part of the original agreement is that NO decals sourced through me would be sold on Ebay or to others, part of the reason you need to regiester on the Fat Cogs registry to get decals. This is a service to the vintage community and should not be exploited.

This individual is a member of both Fat Cogs and Retrobike and should know better.

David, please remove the auction immediately out of respect for all those that have come before you and adhered to the agreement.

I'll attempt to pm as well.
