Fat Chance Kickstarter

Re: Re:

These are pre-production models.

"A few notes: this bike is the first sample. The 433mm chainstays are the same as the 27.5 bike. For production, they will be lengthened. Also, Fat Chance is waiting on custom drawn stays for production, so they’ll change a bit as well."

They are as pointed out before, but it's a bodge and not really a pre production testing bike as it's not got a usable read end anything like it will have. It'll not feel or ride anything like the final thing and shows no proof of concept.

Re: Re:

The Kickstarter listed the chainstays for both as 433mm, this 29er is built as per spec. They realised their error after building it, amateur error not preproduction model excuse.[/quote]

Totally agree, but just as the original Fat City frames evolved i'm hoping the new ones will as well. I'm happy to hear they are making vital changes and dropping the price for production frames.

Re: Re:

They got a great ride review from an 'expert' rider sponsored by Santa Cruz. Sure most of us are carrying a few spare tyres at our age and are unlikely to test the new bikes to their limits, except in our dreams. These are prototypes and need refining etc The finished articles for delivery might be even sexier. As for looking ordinary, well most modern bikes look fugly to my eyes. There is more to it that that. I'm confident the new Fats will stand out from he pack more than most and ride like they should - awesome

Re:

I really don't like that frame much as it looks now...maybe it'll get better but is it me or does that seatpost down tube look to oversize anyway ..it looks massive lol maybe that's post to be the fattest part of the bike

Nice paint job

It's not as if this is a cutting edge design, how hard is it to make a cookie-cutter, 'me too' 29er out of steel that isn't an abortion.

I made my own, in a week!

You my friend are far too Modest.

Ok, let's speak about the 27.5 model, then... I'd likethis one if it weren't for the fork

this comment is great

I really hate to say this, but…kinda reminds me of the third Crocodile Dundee movie in 2001, coming out an after an inexplicably long gap following the first two in the 1980′s.

Now, jokes aside, I've had a bike built by FTW. For the same money you get a frame on which each single tube or even gusset is custom, handbuilt dropouts, unreachable welds and a name which won't play second fiddle to anyone. No match, really.

Lovely bike Mark!

The fat chance is still a bit so so. It's not awful don't get me wrong however it doesn't quite do it for me.
If I did buy a new frame right now this would be on the list :

Re:

I'm patient enough to wait for things to bed in, prototypes often get a rethink. Opinions are subjective of course. I'm not blind in my in-Fatuation. I didn't commit my hard earned to a new frame but I will if they produce what 'I' want. I wonder how many of the Fat 'haters' on here will end up buying one if they become the latest must have in a years time.

As they say in advertising, there is no such thing as bad publicity and the Fat brand relaunch is getting its lions share. Long may it continue.

Love and kisses
