Frame number: YOM1185
Year of manufacture: ?
Frame size: Medium
Color: Pearl white with Stars and Stripes decals
Location: Washington, DC
Owner name: Judy
Living in Washington, DC means I road bike more than mountain bike. So, I have decided to sell this dream bike because I just am not using it and need the space in my house. I've seen a few dreamers on the web mentioning that they would love to build a retro bike with a Fatlanta frame but weren't sure where any were. Well, let me introduce you to the first Fatlanta built by Chris Chance as part of the 20 bikes built for the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. I purchased the frame at Outback Bikes in Atlanta and had it custom built into a race bike I used for one season while racing for the bike shop team. The headset requires a 1" tube, so I used a Marzocchi Super Fly bomber shock to fit.
I brought the bike out to Monterey, California this week for a work trip and it would be great if I could ship it to a new buyer instead of bringing it back on the plane. I will sell the bike as is, with the exception of the saddle, seatpost, and pedals. All other components, including the Superfly shock, are included. The bike frame is overall in good condition. I noticed while riding today (first time in a year), that it will need a tune up soon and the headset needs cleaning or replacing.
I am listing the bike for sale here with my Fat City comrades to see what the best offer is before moving beyond the community. Buyer will pay shipping via UPS. Or, if you live near San Francisco, we could transfer in person on Friday, September 15th. Serious buyers may contact me at judybootie@hotmail.com . I will close offers on Thursday, September 14th, noon PST. Payment needs to be through paypal.
