Fat chance wicked 92 info needed

[heathy]

Guys,

Just been talking to a guy that has a 92 wicked frame in a cherry colour that he wants rid off.

Naturally i said i would do some digging before offering it up for sale.

The info i have is that its a frame with a syncros seat tube, xt headset and matching uni crown fork.

It has some heel rub on the chain stay, no dents and is overall in very good nic.

What info do you need ?

Well, as i couldn't find anything on exact colours in the catalogue scans i thought i would ask first.

Just needed to know before offering it for sale.

26.4 syncros seatposts and and stock Wicked forks are not that easy to come by, so that's a plus.

Does it have a bottom bracket and seat clamp?

Check the bottom of the seat tube with a light for rust.

I thought the wicked's came with a 29.4 seatpost ?

As im finding out, if it has a press in BB,these are a sod also to find, so if present a real bonus too

------>1990 pressed-in BB
1991-----> threaded-in BB

What's the serial number on the underside (sometimes top side) of the BB? Can potentially tell a bunch.

You forgot Monsters, which were 26.4 and Wicked-based, then 26.4 and Yo-based... Then they had a short 29.4 spell before becoming the Buckshaver.

And threaded BBs weren't until '92 in my experience (a bunch of press-in 91s, and threaded 92 and 93).

I've never owned a monster; I was just writing on my personal experience from what I've owned. I've owned a 91 fat (a Yo) that had threaded BBs, so perhaps they were already changing over by then. I owned a 90 Yo that was pressed in-"z" serial number.

No worries. All three of my 91's were press-in, and my '92 was threaded is all. Do you remember the serial for your '91?

No, I know what you mean...hmmm, I'll look though my files/photos; I tend to snap photos of the serial numbers. I've owned a dozen different fats over the past four or five years, so I might be wrong
