Yes only 5 made. They were commissioned by evolution imports for the FAT UK race team so I am led to believe.
Well, i never knew that..., madness.
I was working for a shop called sharrocks cycles ( near chorley lancs ) when a guy from london phoned and asked if we would be interested in his bike !!!
He originally bought his bike off mark p, at bromely bike, but they didnt want it back for what he wanted, which was originally £1350.00
He must have paid about £3380.00 retail back then.
It had the same paint as yours, and some very nice parts, mostly blue ringle with xtr and cooks cranks.
The forks where manitou 2's.
My boss at the time was never in the shop, and this guy kept ringing and ringing, so in the end i bought it of him for £750 !!!! "it was like new"
I never told my boss, he didnt care about his customers , one little bit, its why i left !!
My boss thought it was mine, and wanted the manitous for his own bike, the deal was a brilliant one...
My boss ordered a set of original yo eddy forks in aqua fade ( blue at the bottom i think ). and did a straight swap !!
So i had this very mint like new bike, with the best forks ever thrown in..
I had bought this with my vw beetle funds, and regrettably had to sell it, i think i let it go for the massive bargain price of around £1300 ish..........., and as i said, what a mistake i had made by selling it..
The guy that bought it from me, went on to crashing it in to a dry stone wall bending those beautiful forks....
If i had my time again, knowing what i now know, ( only 5 ) i would have found some thing else too sell in stead..and would have still had it to this day....., like most things i have :facepalm:
All i can remember is, that was the best paint job, no orange peal, not one mistake with the over spray........, very cleverly done.
Who ever is lucky enough to buy yours will not look back........., very cool and very nice too see..
Wishing you the very best of luck with selling, and hope she goes to a brilliant home..
