FAT CHANCE Shock-a-Billy

[Dr S]

Frame landed yesterday after paying the taxman his ever increasing chunk. I was a little happier after taking it out of the box though- its in mint condition. There are few very light areas of cable rub and thats about it. It came up lovely with a little polish and its now ready to be built.
It also came witha few Brucie Bonuses- the Green Ringle seatbinder and early Chris King headset I knew about but Syncros Ti BB was an unexpected treat
It is a S/M size and the shock has been replaced witha Risse racing air damper. I was unsure about the colour when I bought it but its a really nice colour in the flesh and as its in such great condition I won't be painting this one.
Build wise this one is going to be a little different.........but you will have to wait and see! There are a few clues already, bars, stem, rear mech and cranks are on. Just need some hubs, a steerer and a few choice items to get it built up and out in the woods

What do you think??

Hi Dr.S,

That is very nice I like the colour too. If I recall correctly that is the same colour FatCogs' Doug Wicked Lite was. He had it build with purple and a little yellow.

Dr S, nice score there
I did cast my beady little eye over that for a while , nice to see it's come over the pond.
I know that's a stock colour but what's the name of it?
would look good built with green ano and splash of yellow, to pick up on the decals.
what are the forks?

Nice!

I'm a real sucker for any early mac-strut frames, looking forward to seeing the final build...

Very nice bike by the way, plain lovely

just possessed

I have a Syncros Cattleprod to go on depending on what forks go on. It might stay....Dunno

Colour is Metalic Charcoal I think. Scants yer man for FAT facts though. I'm sure he'll be along soon

Just needing a few more parts and I will post the spec, its going to be a love it or hate it build I'm afraid :shock:
