I know that some of the, shall we say more devote FAT worshippers only consider the pre- serrotta FATs as the only true FAT.
FAT has spawned many companies, SRP, Merlin, KingKage.. all ex FAT workers. When I get the offiicial say-so off wendyl I'll be able to explain the IF FAT relationship better.
The first IFs were pretty much carbon copies of the Yo, but with slimmer dia seatstays (which apparently is a custom option some of the FAT crew did to make their Yos slightly more forgiving). I'll get the full spiel off wendyl on that one & update later.
I test rode a 03 IF Ti recently (SSMM) & I gotta say, hand on heart, I prefered my FAT. the bike seemed pretty harsh (over what isnt a rough course) & although stable, didnt really inspire me. This could be a case of Michael Jordans Nikes, the FAT just making it feel special!
