If you like great handling with all day riding comfort, nothing beats these. Much lower import charges too as its only F&F.

What’s the fit like on these @M-Power ? Assume this is for a taller rider?

The FAT brochure says m/l is for 6’-6’2” typically but it depends on your body proportion ratio. If eg you are 5’10” with a longer torso you may prefer a larger frame (longer TT ) or if you are 6’ with short arms you may prefer a M FAT frame.

Looks like I am a medium then. Saved me some money

Very little info given on the fork...Chinese special perhaps.

I had a NOS pair of Chinese made XACD 1in steerer Ti forks that ‘looked’ like these. I never rode them and sold them to a chap in Germany for his Ti FAT. He seemed very happy with them. They were only 586g with a long uncut steerer !!! They seemed pretty beefy ie hard to bend strongman style The early Chinese made Ti forks had failures as they were too thin walled. The walls on mine seemed ~ 1.4mm thick.

That price though

It does seem a bit much for a frame set without the original fork. Guess it was a suspension fork though?

I’m over here talking myself out of spending £50 on a whole bike

Proper mugging off with the price, it's not even the more desirable early frame.
