Silverfish 1993 Team Fat Chance Yo Eddy

[Silverfish]

Small update tonight
Fitted some of John’s new pedals
Some used Ritchey Megabite Z Max 2.35 tyres
And a NOS Crud Claw in turquoise
Not sure if that will stay on the build or not - I bloody hated those things BITD

Right amount of skinwall showing now and proper fat tyres suit the FAT (pun intended)

Such a beautiful frame.

Fork is back from Dan
Very slightly lengthened - we only added a few mm.
But more importantly the join has been lowered so you can run the full length Ringle quill.
He also included a replacement stem wedge so I can fully slam the stem if I want.
But it works without it so I’m well pleased with it.
Pretty sure I have all the bits so should be able to finish this one now…

Looking really nice mate Dan's done a good job on them forks

These days i like builds that are a mish mash of parts that look strange but work beautifully together. Shimano rear shifting, dt swiss hubs, steel stems, titanium bars, suntour or campagnolo cranksets, suntour thumbies, suntour canti brakes. syncros posts and Avocet 02 saddles. NIce lightweight rims and fat tires.

Dan IS the man!

I have a pair of forks needing his attention, no way as posh as your segmented Fat Chance ones though!

I totally agree with that opinion.

Those look a lot like from a batch of upgraded, water-cut stainless toothpicks I had made.*



*your bars are on upside down.

Lol
That depends if you want to read the logo from the saddle so or from the front wheel
