To those that quite rightly in these times say £3-5K is too much money for a bike, thats one way of looking at it. To me life is about experiences, especially spent with your family or mates. One day your health will start to fail and you will probably regret not doing things on your bucket list...

Ain't that the truth… 😮‍💨

Apologies I was tired 🫡 My dad was an engineer with a Myford Lathe in the garage. I used to make alloy wheels for my Tamiya RC car on it 🙂

We are lucky we are not into rare BMX or Road bike collectables. Too many 000s

Mate you have triggered my welding OCD now 😅 Here’s my 94 FAT Ti head tube with flawless first pass welds on externally lathed double butted custom gauge Ti tubes. The down tube has a larger diameter for extra rigidity. Sandvik welds were always neat but they used plain gauge in their early 90s...

It was made in 93 at a cost for frame alone of almost $3000 + shipping and import on top if you wanted it in the UK.

Had to rip this of that site, such a pretty bike.

The first ever Ti mountainbike frames were made around 85 by Gary Helfrich when he worked at FAT CITY CYCLES Somerville Mass.Until the very early 90s Ti frames were very noodly and way too flexy in the BB.They could suffer from terrifying speed wobble on fast descents and were always made of...

These Ti frames alone were ~ $3000 bitd. The forks and headset are not cheap, also larger sizes are usually harder to find, probably why it was snapped up.

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 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.

You only have so long to enjoy things like this in good health. If you can afford to, buy it. The experiences and joy it will bring are priceless.

I just paid for them as spares, so if anyone needs them more than me for a build happy to let them go. 🙂👍

Il take these if available. PM me for payment 🙂👍

You are gonna likey muchly.

Always loved the Syncros Ti BBs.

Had the exact same paint on mine. 🥰 Stiff but still a comfortable fast all day rider and absolutely bomb proof. Enjoy 😎

Insanely good deal. These repro forks are close to the whole asking price alone now if not more. 🤔
