Fat Chance Yo Eddy Team in grello-blue fade

[Minifreak]

Hey guys, due to a new baby on the way and a house purchase I am considering selling a couple of my bike builds, just listed my Yeti ARC now considering whether to let this bike or my Merlin Ti go as well.

I adore this bike, the nicest steel frame and fork combo I’ve had the pleasure of owning and riding. It sounds crazy but the bike rides like it knows where to go, it is light, nimble and you don’t miss suspension, can take much wider tyres too if required. The ride position is very comfortable for a retro.

Very nice indeed. Would you split it? I’d be interested in the wheels if you did.

No idea, I bought the frame and forks as is I’m afraid.

Fat Chance still available, possible buyer in the US but rather keep her this side of the pond

That's an awful lot of teething gel. X
