Entire length of chain stay was always protected with thick nylon spiral wrap. In addition to the Fat installed anti-suck "toothpick" a drop chain catcher/guide device was also added, thus I never experienced any chain suck issues or chain stay damage whatsoever.

Aside from a few superficial scuffs (can be buffed out with scotch-brite) there are no dings, dents, scratches, cracks or gouges on the frame.

As the original owner, I bought this frame (it was love at first sight) in 1994 from Sharp Bicycles in Richmond, Ca. The current build is very nimble and responsive.

This Fat Ti frame was put together by the original crew in the Fat City Cycles shop in Somerville, MA., (before the operation was later moved to the Serotta location in South Glen Falls, NY.)

Included:

1993 Fat City Cycles catalog, with Fat Ti details & specs. Fat Chance hang tag signed by the entire Team Fat crew including serial number. A complete set of original "Fat Titanium" frame decals in red.
