1993 Fat Chance Titanium.

NO anodized bling. It´s about pure performance. Imo titanium bikes beg to be built w/ silver, black and shimano workhorse groups.

Interesting fastening bolts for the M900 brake calipers, are these an aftermarket Ti option?

I think these were possibly from Toronto Cycles - I got some ages ago - and yes they're Ti.

Very nice indeed! Nothing I'd change. Nice to see an Alpes Flite (as a Flite fanatic) they have unique look I really like. Interesting fastening bolts for the M900 brake calipers, are these an aftermarket Ti option?

Not sure exactly where the ti brake bolts came from, they came on a Merlin I had a while back. Ideal for this build.

Perfect Tom!

I love this bike so much.

The blue hits on just the forks and decals are just perfect.

A lot of people would have thrown blue ano at it, and ruined it. IMHO.

You've completely nailed it this one, I think.

Be better with skinwalls, of course!

PS. I want to ride it so badly, so do let us know how it is...

Thanks so much, very kind words. Interestingly I tried it with tanwalls, somehow the blackwall tyres just worked so much better. And I’m usually a tanwall guy.

Ps. The ride is phenomenal. Fast, responsive, assuring and with the BOI forks, surprisingly supple. My current favourite riding bike, and I have a yo!

That is amazing. Love your take on bikes: No holds barred.

Thanks very much, that’s really nice to hear,

Stunning build . Its beauty is in its simplicity. Something than be hard to deliver upon... I think you nailed it. Very envious.

Gorgeous pub bike

I'd recommend locking it up when parked outside Aldi, just as a precaution.

Good spot. It’s a baby type 35, go kart basically. Or technically a copy of a type 52. My dad used to make them.
