I think we should give the guy a chance. Lots unnecessary negativity in this thread. How unlike Retrobike!

He should have made a prototype frame or two. Much as we all know how great his FCC products are, new customers fascinated by the mystique and cool factor need to see what they are getting.
I'm happy with my collection of 26er HT bikes but would invest in a replacement Ti SAB 650 if it comes out, which hopefully it will. I have stumped up $250 for a nice collection of new apparel. I hope that the true Fat fans on here will do the same asap, to get this launched.
Come on guys...
Give the next generation a Chance

He has orders for 20 odd frames ATM and most people riding mountain bikes today won't know or care about Chris Chance and the history behind him. This needs to be put in a bit of perspective. Having said that, in the future, why shouldn't he profit from his name and the history behind the brand which he created?
Anyway Carl, how are you going to build yours up

He is entitled to use the name. Not sure about the new Pink Floyd album though.
I am pretty sure that is why we all go to work, the money.sinnerman":zy73syda said:Im all for this working, but It is about the Money.
