"A few notes: this bike is the first sample. The 433mm chainstays are the same as the 27.5 bike. For production, they will be lengthened. Also, Fat Chance is waiting on custom drawn stays for production, so they’ll change a bit as well."
They are as pointed out before, but it's a bodge and not really a pre production testing bike as it's not got a usable read end anything like it will have. It'll not feel or ride anything like the final thing and shows no proof of concept.Mr.Toad":2f6psfki said:These are pre-production models.

Sure most of us are carrying a few spare tyres at our age and are unlikely to test the new bikes to their limits, except in our dreams. These are prototypes and need refining etc The finished articles for delivery might be even sexier. As for looking ordinary, well most modern bikes look fugly to my eyes. There is more to it that that. I'm confident the new Fats will stand out from he pack more than most and ride like they should - awesome
