A Chance Encounter

[Repack Rider]

I sure hope the random Guy on the FatChace gave it the full on:

He emailed me:

hi charlie,

i met you yesterday at tamarancho while riding w/ my son. it was a great moment for me to meet the man who built my frame and ride w/ some mountain biking legends. my son is enjoying viewing your site and all of the photos from back in the day. he's got to see clunkers.

i'm writing you because i would love to have a copy of the photo you took of chris and me posing at "the rock." please email it to me if at all possible.

i hope to run in to you again out on the trails or at one of the local watering holes. you've still got it.

The end of Fat Chance makes Chirs more legendary than any other mtb frame builder,even Ritchey
That's really nice to see him riding again

Both Fats running Gripshift...

This was my first thought - good to see that even those that know use it Always been a fan and prefer them to shifters.

Quality thread - we all need more of this.

Indeed. Made me smile as well.

That chap on the Fat sounds pretty composed in his email compared to how some of us would be!
