Started a build with a fork. Ended up with a 1987 Fat Chance

Here's some shots of the bike pre and post resto ... not quite done, but close

As I got it from the original owner (ex Fat Chance Employee)



All fixed up ...

Great riding bike!

Said it before when you posted, gotta a whole lotta love for this bike. Love the forks, ex FAT employee bike and colour vibe.

Very nice!

Those bottle cage fasteners look funny on picture 4. Whatever the camera did there...

Re:

Thanks guys. I gotta get better with that depth function. It seems to do the job on the wider angled stuff but goes a bit odd up close as you've noticed.

One of my favourite bikes here.
