Calling all Fat City experts: In dire need of your help...

[GoldenEraMTB]

I would usually go to Fat Cogs with my questions, but since I'm a registered member here, thought I might give this a shot.

I'm looking for pics of the rear dropouts on Fat City Wicked Lites from say 1990 to 1994 (if there is even such an animal). I'm looking for details in the dropout itself where the stays come together. I know on my 1990 Yo, it has a triangular looking hole, but I'm not familiar with Wickeds or wicked Lites...do they have the same hole?

Please help...it's greatly appreciated, and I thank you in advance

Thanks for trying.

I just reread my first post, and it's a bit convoluted....let me clarify:

I need to know if the wicked lite ever came with a different type of rear dropout other than the one commonly found on wcked lites and yo eddys where there is a hole where the stays come together right at the rear dropout.

Is there a wicked lite with two holes in that spot, or what looks like the triangular hole but devided by another peice of steel. I'll try to get a pic posted of what I'm looking at...thanks again.

***Update***

okok, crisis is over

I believe I've found the information I was looking for...the rear dropouts in question are G.P. Wilson dropouts, and were used sparingly by Fat City in the late 80s to early 90s from what I can tell. They have two holes in the triangle area of the rear dropout.

I will post a synopsis of my little research today along with pics. Guess I didn't give myself enought time to research it before making a thread

Haha, no worries

BTW, would either of you happen to know the story/history behind the use of G.P. Wilson dropouts on some Fats?
