Re:

I really don't like that frame much as it looks now...maybe it'll get better but is it me or does that seatpost down tube look to oversize anyway ..it looks massive lol maybe that's post to be the fattest part of the bike

Nice paint job

It's not as if this is a cutting edge design, how hard is it to make a cookie-cutter, 'me too' 29er out of steel that isn't an abortion.

I made my own, in a week!

You my friend are far too Modest.

Ok, let's speak about the 27.5 model, then... I'd likethis one if it weren't for the fork

this comment is great

I really hate to say this, but…kinda reminds me of the third Crocodile Dundee movie in 2001, coming out an after an inexplicably long gap following the first two in the 1980′s.

Now, jokes aside, I've had a bike built by FTW. For the same money you get a frame on which each single tube or even gusset is custom, handbuilt dropouts, unreachable welds and a name which won't play second fiddle to anyone. No match, really.

Lovely bike Mark!

The fat chance is still a bit so so. It's not awful don't get me wrong however it doesn't quite do it for me.
If I did buy a new frame right now this would be on the list :

Re:

I'm patient enough to wait for things to bed in, prototypes often get a rethink. Opinions are subjective of course. I'm not blind in my in-Fatuation. I didn't commit my hard earned to a new frame but I will if they produce what 'I' want. I wonder how many of the Fat 'haters' on here will end up buying one if they become the latest must have in a years time.

As they say in advertising, there is no such thing as bad publicity and the Fat brand relaunch is getting its lions share. Long may it continue.

Re:

I like that bike quite well up now, it's just a prototype, it will be even better.

The new Yo Eddy is not built for the classic lovers and that's okay (I don't know if it makes sense the whole discussion here in classic forum!)

Re:

Ooof. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my vintage Fats, but I am so so so glad I didn't throw money away on this. Hopefully they get everything sorted out design-wise before production starts up. That said, even the builds are lame! And having a slim rigid fork on that Coke can head tube is silly -- for an all rigid option, why not make it dedicated and appropriate looking? These are basically one-offs, after all.
