I cant believe I just found out about this site. I have been a Fat fanatic since about 1985. I managed a bike shop in Sunnyvale Ca back in 1987-90 and was instramental in the shop carrying Fats as well as becoming the largest retailer of Fats on the West Coast. The history and love is deep. I have a 58cm (serial # 002Z08) slim chance that was supposedly from the first batch (8) that were destined for Mavic as support bikes. Chris did all the work himself and said after these were done that he was not going to use G.P. Wilson dropouts in the future because they were such a bitch to make them look nice (too much filing). I still ride the bike everywhere and it is regularly taken into the dirt where it seems to want to be. I also have a wicked lite with an early box crown team fork that I have turned into a 700c touring bike. I might go to hell for the bastardisation but it is a lovely touring bike that spends a lot of time off road. Pic's attached. All of my co-workers were equally obsessed and still cling to the memories. I'll see if I can find them to post some photos....just remembered that we had a shop race series and most of them were riding late 80's fats; there are pictures around somewhere.....
