Hi all,
My first Fat City project and I am stoked! Got a 1986 black frame with black fork and yellow head badge decal all in pretty good condition. SN: 86586 or it could be 86686, 18" with ht at 71 and st at 72. Oversize down tube, Suntour rear drop outs, original 2 sets black bottle bracket bolts (I think), Suntour seat post skewer, small plain American flag top st. Fork (I think) is a Tange "mini-crown" original to this frame. Campagnolo cable guides top of BB. I think this is a Wicked that was made prior to introduction of the new line in 1987 (???).
Frame prep done and gathering parts. Concept is that "the frame is the thing" so will leave it as is with original paint and light normal wear. Will be in the general period mid-80s to mid-90s, 8 speed, XT. A little bling with some purple Ringle Holey skewers. Yellow cable housing. Will update. Thanks to all for great educational and mind expanding postings on this website that are so helpful to a "newbie".
