Hi Amey - Thanks, yes, it is a nice Buck. I wondered whether to post this picture though ... I'm embarrased about the steerer tube; the photo was taken while I was experimenting with handlebar height!

Fat-Tony - Thanks for the link to the history site. Very interesting.

Happy cycling, Andy

the harlequin wicked.. it does look like a cross between and 18 and a 19.5! and i never knew there were stil wickeds in 95. 27.0 seatpost?
i am not doubting it's fat city pedigree and the painting is one of the most beautifull i ever seen.

26.4, actually.

It is unique. Even details like the tubes for the chain- and seatstays are split evenly, with silver on one side, charcoal on the other. I grew up in MA, and went to college with a part-time employee, when they were still in Somerville. He bought one of the first Ti frames that Gary Helfrich built, and we often rode together in the Pioneer Valley. His steel Fat is what spurred me to buy mine.
