Hi, its been many years since my last visit here, but dusted off the Fat, found Strava and thought I'd share!
Back in 96 I took my Proflex over to Tenessee for a few months, I soon found The Bike Zoo in Knoxville and spent most days loitering and cycling with the guys and customers there.
I took an instant shine to a Fat Chance Shock-a-Billy owned by one of the chaps there... When I left the states I came home with the profile and a new toy! A lovely SAB frame in team violet with yellow swingarm.
I've built and swapped bits over the years till it ended up as this....
