Any FAT Chance Fans / Indy Fab guru's out there...very interesting frameset...seems to follow the laters FAT Chance Shockabilly design, possibly has 10th Anniversary style dropouts (stamped 1982-1992), then appears to have been refinished at Indy Fab more recent facility?

Cool colour too.

Re:

Must be an ex FCC staff bike, with those 10th dropouts.

there was supposed to be 200 10th anniversary frames, but I believe only 182 were finally made. I've seen 10th anniversary headtube badges sold separately, so its not out of the realm that 10th anniversary dropouts were left over.

that said this shockabilly differs from the earlier AMP back end 'billy & the later all steel, rocker link 'billy, so it wouldnt surprise me if this frame was a midway prototype. built after the AMP, but before the rocker link 'billy
